Bought the [Anker Powerline II USB-C to Lightning Cable](https://www.anker.com/deals/ctolightning) from [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H27J698/)for **US$17.99 (S$25)**. Shipping to Singapore is an additional US$4.51 (S$7).

Two colors are available, black and white.

This is the Powerline II series where the outer cable casing is made of Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE).

I am hoping they will bring it to the Powerline+ II series where the cable is braided with nylon fiber.

As with all Anker Lighting cables, this is MFi certified as well.

After three years of use, my [Apple USB-C to Lightning Cable](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2016/12/02/apple-usb-c-to-lightning-cable-1m/) started to show signs of its age when the rubber on the cable begins becoming sticky.

In comparison, after two years of use, my [Anker PowerLine USB-C to USB-C Cable](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2017/07/12/anker-powerline-usb-c-to-usb-c-cable/) is still doing well.

So I am confident that the Anker Powerline II USB C to Lightning Cable will be better than Apple USB-C to Lightning Cable.

In terms of pricing, Apple USB-C to Lightning Cable is still cheaper by S$3 at S$29 if you are buying only one Anker Powerline II USB C to Lightning cable from Amazon. This is because the shipping is a fixed cost.

Once you get two or more Anker Powerline II USB C to Lightning cables, it will be cheaper than Apple.
