Looks almost identical to this one I bought last October. Had an Aukey Amazon coupon, cost me all of $5.60, still a good value at the current price of $12.99.

Always gank on shipping though, and the selection is way worse on .ca than .com
Im thinking of getting one with USB-C and USB. Can barely charge my phone right off the port.. need a cigarette adapter charger forsure.
are you not a prime member? I know .com is way better, but man I don't need it same or next day for a discount. Anyway, not to take away from this thread. Here's a link for you.

Yes i seen it, i actually have their charging cables right now, they're mfi certified or w/e and work very well, got the black braided ones.
I'm in need of a new phone, currently have the iphone 6 plus from 2014 lol, so i will see what apple comes out with on tuesday and try to pick something accordingly, i feel 1 usb-C and 1 usb-a or w/e will be best for new and older devices.
From what I know, your late 2017 iPhone X Series and the late 2018 iPhone XS Series only charges at something like the conventional 1 Amp.
It wasn't until late 2019 that the iPhone 11 Pro Series had a high speed charger bundled in the box to enable it to charge at something like 2 Amps.
The question is, if a 5V 2A charger is plugged into your iPhone X, will your iPhone X still only charge at 1 Amp, or will it actually charge at 2 Amps???
I know that Samsung Galaxy S Series from 2014 onwards had high speed 2A charging, and this can be switched on/off by going into Settings, Battery, 3 Dots, Settings, Fast Cable Charging, and On/Off.
If Fast Cable Charging is enabled, and it is plugged into a 5V 1A charger, then the cell phone will only charge at 5V 1A.
So could worrying about a high speed charging USB port be pointless for an iPhone X?
NB
I just found out.
Apparently, the standard iPhone 5 Watt charger charges at the usual 5V by 1A.
However, your iPhone X can be charged with an iPad 12 Watt charger, which charges at literally 5V by 2.4A.
Thus, the iPhone X and onwards seem to have no software to limit its charging speed.
Wirelessly, the late 2017 iPhone 8 & X [with Gorilla Glass backs] and onwards are wirelessly limited to only 7.5 Watts, that is 5V by 1.5A wireless charging.
However, always remember that rapid 1 hour charging is certainly very convenient, but it causes more rapid battery degradation to age the battery and require replacement more quickly.
Rapid charging can also cause lithium ion explosions, so should never be done with no person in nearby attendance.

If fast charging wears out the battery faster, just think about EV cars. Fast charging could just be as bad. The batteries are a lot more expensive if out of warranty.

Yes, supercharging does cause more rapid battery degradation, and that's why Toyota Motor Corp want to bypass lithium ion batteries altogether, and jump directly into Solid State battery technology.
Presently, the only full BEV TMC vehicles with lithium ion batteries are the C-HR and UX300e both on sale only in China.
