These Alternatives to Apple’s Lightning Cables are Built to Withstand All the Things!

When you're using your Lightning cable every day to charge up your iPhone or iPad, eventually you're going to notice some wear and tear. Plus, you only get one Lightning cable in the box so if you want to charge your device at work and at home, it means you'll be carrying around your charging cable with you everywhere.

New cables from Apple cost $19 that's a lot of money to dish out every time a cable tears or for the convenience to charge two devices at a time or in two locations. The good news is there are plenty of cheaper and tougher Lightning cables out there.

• AmazonBasics nylon braided Lightning cable
• BYZ braided Lightning cable — 3 pack
• Anker PowerLine+ Lightning Cable
• Native Union NIGHT Cable

AmazonBasics nylon braided Lightning cable

Tougher, cheaper, and longer than Apple's included Lightning cable, the AmazonBasics nylon braided Lightning cable is perfect for people in need of an extra.

The 6-foot cable is not only braided making the cable itself stronger, but the ends are reinforced with rubber to prevent fraying and bending on the cables weakest point.

You can pick up the AmazonBasics nylon braided Lightning cable for $12.

Highly rated with over 2,000 nearly 5-star reviews, durable, and ready for all the wear and tear you can throw at it, the Anker PowerLine+ Lightning Cable lasts six times longer than a regular lightning cable, and is bound to have you picking up one in every color!

Native Union NIGHT Cable

If price isn't your main concern and you're looking for something super strong, incredibly durable, and ridiculously long, the Native Union NIGHT Cable is one fashionable and super functional Apple accessory.

Designed to be ultra-strong and withstand around two times more stress than a standard Lightning cable, the Native Union NIGHT Cable claims to be able to live through 17,000+ bends, twists, and strains throughout its lifetime.

The best part about the Native Union NIGHT Cable? The ball near the end of it, so you can easily charge your iPhone or iPad in bed from across the room without having the cable fall to the floor when you unplug it for a quick second!

You can pick up the NIGHT cable in red, marine blue, taupe, and zebra, but fair warning, they're a bit pricier than some other lightning cables out there – however, in our opinion, $39.99 is well worth it for this innovative charging accessory,
