I find Belkin cables great. I’m not sure if they do 3 metre cables, but I’ve had a 2 metre cable from them

I’ve found the Anker Powerline cables to be extremely well made

I left apple a few years ago because of the poor lightening cables.

It beats me how they get away with charging €1000 for a phone and the charging cables are cheap garbage.

My OnePlus phone cables are perfect after three years..

You stopped using a device because of its charging cable!? Doesn’t take much to bother you man! 😂

I’ve been lucky with the cables, one (almost fresh from the box) just stopped working quite recently. So out of 10 years of Apple devices I can’t complain myself! 30 cables is going to have been a serious whack of cash!!

What were you doing with the cables!? I have had lightening cables since they have been released, and only one of them has bitten the dust

Typically I only got 6 months use out of non apple lightning cables. Frequently bending the cable seems to cause the most problems, also the connectors get damaged with dirt etc. I've switched to Anker now and hoping for an improvement.

One of my kids chewed the MagSafe connector off my wife’s MacBook Pro charger (no, it wasn’t plugged in). €70 to replace. Another one actually chewed the case of my €300 G-Shock watch into little pieces. I can only look forward to them moving on to cheaper cables when teenagers

Ive been using these for the last 3 years, they are as strong as the Anker, and charge fast, they don't overheat like some other cheap ones. I keep one in each car, one in my suitcase, one in bedroom and one in Kitchen, at the price, it's no problem if you lose them. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/MSVII-USB-Cable-2-1A-Fast-Charging-Cable-For-iPhone-XS-Max-XR-X-8-7/32872034221.html

Seems like they're no longer available.

That sucks, they are a great cable, they should come around again hopefully.
