help AmazonBasics Lightning to USB-A Cable FAQ
Is the AmazonBasics Lightning cable MFi certified by Apple?
Yes, AmazonBasics Lightning cables are officially MFi (Made for iPhone) certified by Apple. This means they contain the necessary authorization chips to safely charge your Apple devices without triggering warning messages. Using non-certified cables can cause software glitches or damage your device's battery.
What charging speeds can I expect from the AmazonBasics USB-A to Lightning cable?
Because it connects to a standard USB-A port, it is limited to 12W charging speeds, which is slower than modern fast-charging standards. It is excellent for overnight charging or connecting to older laptops and car chargers. It will not support the 18W+ fast-charge protocols required to rapidly charge newer iPhones.
Does this AmazonBasics cable come in a braided nylon version?
Yes, AmazonBasics offers this specific cable in both a standard PVC rubber jacket and a double-braided nylon version. The braided nylon version is significantly more resistant to fraying and tangling near the connector housings. This makes it a much more durable option for heavy daily use inside a bag.
