I recently forgot my iPad password after having to change it - unfortunately, a few weeks later I had forgotten it as I do not regularly use my iPad.I connected my iPad to my Mac using a USB-C to USB-A cable however my Mac would only charge my iPad, the Mac itself would not recognise that the iPad was connected nor would it show the device in finder or iTunes. I had tried multiple cables and still had the same issue therefore I spoke to Apple Care who advised I would probably need to go into the Apple store to complete the restore of my iPad.After doing some research, I found on the Apple Community website that someone had a similar issue like I was facing - what resolved it for them was using a high quality cable, so on my hunt for a cable I decided to do some research. Apple actually recommends Anker as brand and is one of their recommended brands when it comes to accessories.The cable worked as intended, instantly my Mac recognised my iPad and was able to restore it - I didn't really think that a cable would make much difference considering we tried multiple however I have learnt that when it comes to premium devices such as iPads/iPhones and Macs, is it really worth scrimping on cheap/budget cables.

Verygood and satisfied

I'll start by saying I don't like USB C, the connections are so small and fragile that connections are more likely to fail than to work, unlike all older USB standards. So one star lost as it's USB C. I understand the "needs to be up to date.. blah blah blah..." argument, but a "standard" that is as fragile as this was a mistake. As bandwidth requirements go up, we need reliable and robust connectors. So ends my style over function sermon...So on this cable...It appears to be very well made and robust, I say "appears" as I have only had it a few hours so only time will tell. It feels solid and well made too. The cable is a little stiff, but that is all part of the more robust nature of the cable.I have tried plugging this in and out of my phone and it seems to work consistently, so I would say from that standpoint, it is better than the Sony "originals" I have had (of 4 cables, only one worked reliably). With my phone, it charges and is recognised on my PC as a data storage device. It works reliably on USB 3 sockets, not so well on USB 2 sockets but that may be a driver issue on my PC. The USB C plug fits snugly in the socket on the phone and tablet, which is probably half the battle in making these connectrs work.It charges my tablet (Lenovo) at full whack, unlike some other cables I have tried which don't charge faster than the wifi drains the battery.If this remains the same, I will buy another couple of these for the car etc. I'll update this if things go wrong.

Brought this cable almost 5 years ago for my car for android auto, and been using it almost daily since. Only now the braid has started to come off and affecting the connection. But it has been fine for almos 5 years, logged with Anker support and they are sending out a free replacement as it comes with lifetime warranty!

Great quality cable. Works perfectly well with my Pixel8a and Android Auto.
