What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing has inconsistent or unconfirmed details: it identifies the product as A8152 but also calls it Anker 331, lists 1 m in the title and 3.3 Feet in specifications, and gives overlapping but different device compatibility lists. The manufacturer claims MFi certification, but it is not independently confirmed here. Charging speed depends on the connected power source and device.

Customer feedback reports positive impressions of build quality, sturdiness, length and durability, while charging speed, compatibility and reliability receive mixed comments. That makes the reported build strengths relevant for everyday use, but buyers should not assume fast charging or uninterrupted connections. The cable’s USB-A to Lightning design and listed 1 m length set its practical fit. Overall ratings are predominantly five-star, though ratings alone do not explain individual experiences.

Positive themes

Customers mention quality, durability, sturdiness and useful length.

Mixed feedback

Feedback on charging speed is mixed, with some describing fast charging and others slow charging.
Some customers report reliable compatibility while others describe disconnections or cables that stop working properly.

Frequently asked questions

What connectors does this cable have?

The listing specifies Lightning and USB Type A connectors. It therefore needs a USB-A port or compatible USB-A power source at the other end.

Is the cable MFi certified?

The title and manufacturer claims say it is MFi certified. Treat this as a listing claim rather than independent confirmation.

How long is the cable?

The title and feature text describe it as 1 m, while the specifications give 3.3 Feet. These appear to be equivalent rounded descriptions.

Which devices does it support?

The listing names several iPhone and iPad models, and broader claims refer to Lightning devices. Its specific compatibility lists differ, so check your device and listing details before buying.
