If our favorite Lightning cable for USB-C ports is unavailable: The Anker 641 Flow Silicone USB-C to Lightning Cable, which comes in 3-foot and 6-foot versions, is a good option. It doesn’t come in a 10-foot version like our top pick does, its cable tie has a fiddly rubber buttonhole closure, and its 18-month warranty pales in comparison to our pick’s lifetime warranty. Plus, it typically costs twice as much. But there’s still a lot to love about this cable: Its rubber sheath is silky smooth and super flexible (to the point that you don’t really need a cable tie anyway, since it doesn’t tangle like most charging cables), and it comes in more colors than any other cable we tested, including black, white, yellow, light pink, light blue, seafoam, lavender, and lilac.
