I wish that @Apple would have the same type of color match cable for the iPhone they do for their MacBooks. For some unknown reason they don’t do this. 

The lighting cable that came with my phone is nice. 

It functions as it needs to.

It feels premium.

The stark white against the deep red of the (Product)^Red iPhone grates me every time I have to plug it in to charge the phone. 

Anker, on the other hand, knows there are people in the market who like to coordinate their iPhones and accessories.

I purchased the @AnkerOfficial USB C to Lighting Cable so that at least one of my iPhone 13 accessories would look right. (Don’t get me started with Apples decision to not have a red leather case for the 13.)

The cable looks and feels premium. It has a much thicker braid than the usual Apple cable and is much stiffer. This isn’t a bad thing only different. It takes some getting used to when you coil it. The metallic ends of the cable are a close match to the matte red of the phone while the nylon braid is bi-color and almost shimmers in light. I went with the 3’ cable and it is slightly over 36” in length.

Some reviews that I read mentioned the cable getting warm when charging. I have noticed some slight warming but nothing that I am concerned about.

I would recommend this cable to anyone with a (Product)^Red (or any other color) iPhone. It’s a great cable and adds a bright accent to an otherwise mundane aspect of owning a smartphone.
