Lightning cables and adapters, from USB-C to Lightning cables to audio dongles.
Verbatim Tough Max cables wrap a pure copper core in DuPont Kevlar Aramid fibre and a double-layered nylon braid for exceptional durability. The 21AWG core enables faster charging and stable data, reinforcing the weak connector joint.
The Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter retails for S$45, though a Singtel voucher brought mine down to S$30. It lets you connect Lightning accessories to a USB-C device such as the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Cable comes in one 1.2m length, black or white, at S$49, though Amazon.sg had black for S$40. I needed it because my Belkin equivalent wouldn't work on AirPods Max.
Moshi Integra is the brand's braided cable line. I have the USB-C to Lightning Cable in 25cm, the perfect on-the-go length for linking a power bank to my phone. MFi-certified and made in Taiwan, it retails for S$43.
I bought the 50cm Ugreen Braided USB-C to Lightning Cable from Lazada for S$13.77. Ugreen makes high-quality cables cheaply, and at that price it's among the cheapest braided MFi USB-C to Lightning cables you'll find.
The Energea FibraTough USB-C to Lightning Cable is one of Energea's braided cables. It retails for S$29.90 in five colours, comes only in a 1.5m length, and supports up to 60W.
The Anker Powerline+ II is Anker's second MFi-certified USB-C to Lightning cable, after the Powerline II. The only real difference is the exterior: the Powerline+ II uses nylon braid versus the Powerline II's TPE, both with reinforced strength.
I'd wanted a short MFi USB-C to Lightning cable to pair with a USB-C power bank, since less wire dangles. I found the Ugreen one on Lazada in a 25cm length for S$13.79.
I bought the Anker Powerline II USB-C to Lightning Cable from Amazon for US$17.99, available in black and white. This Powerline II uses a TPE casing; I'm hoping Anker brings it to the nylon-braided Powerline+ II series.
The Belkin Universal Cable has a base Micro-USB connector plus two snap-on adapters, Micro-USB to Lightning and to USB-C, each with a cable clip for tidy storage. The 1.2m cable comes only in black.
The Belkin 3.5mm Audio Cable with Lightning Connector lets you connect an iPhone to any 3.5mm audio system without Bluetooth. MFi-certified, its DAC outputs high-resolution audio up to 48kHz/24-bit. It comes in black and white, in two lengths.
Having bought the 1.5m Nomad Universal Cable from South Korea, I wanted the shorter 0.3m version too. The 1.5m is great from a wall outlet but too bulky coiled, so the 0.3m suits charging from a power bank.
I'd wanted the Nomad Universal Cable, the only rugged 3-in-1 supporting Lightning, USB-C, and Micro-USB. Its core USB-A to Micro-USB cable adds MFi Lightning and USB-C tips, wrapped in braided 500D ballistic nylon.
The Belkin Valet Charge Dock for Apple Watch & iPhone is exclusive to Apple Stores and authorised resellers, retailing for S$194. It comes in Silver, Rose Gold, and Black, though it's pricey for a dock.
The ZUS Super Duty Lightning Cable is my second nonda product, after the ZUS Smart Car Charger I still use. It retails for US$19.99 plus flat shipping, comes in one 1.2m length, and offers a straight or right-angled end.
The Apple USB-C to Lightning Cable comes in two lengths: 1m at S$28 and 2m at S$42, both recently discounted prices of unknown duration. Avoid authorised resellers, which still charge the old S$34 and S$48 pricing.
The 2016 Mophie Powerstation Plus comes in three sizes: XL (12,000mAh), regular (6,000mAh), and Mini (4,000mAh), each in gold, rose gold, and space grey. Only the XL and regular are sold in Singapore, with the XL at S$139.
The Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter retails for S$14, though most authorised resellers were out of stock; I grabbed the last two from iStudio Paragon. The build feels fragile, with a thin, breakable cable.
I bought the Anker PowerLine+ Lightning Cable (0.9m) from Amazon for US$13.99. Since it doesn't ship to Singapore directly, I forwarded it via HopShopGo. It comes in four lengths, from 0.3m at US$12.99 up to 3m at US$16.99.
GP Batteries has expanded its Smart On-The-Go accessory and power bank range to include USB car and wall chargers, charge-and-sync cables, and power banks. The USB car chargers come in three models, from single-port 2.4A to triple-port 6.3A.
While in Hong Kong for a relative's wedding, I picked up the Mophie Powerstation Plus (12,000mAh) from the newly opened Apple Store at 100 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. It retails there for HK$1,298, about S$240.
The Apple iPhone Lightning Dock launched in May 2015 at S$58, in plastic and only white. For the iPhone 6/6s Plus launch, Apple added an aluminium variant at S$68, S$10 more, now offered in colours including this gold.
