Imagine this: your phone is about to die just as you get home from an important meeting and want to check your email for any updates about the project you are working on. You grab your charging cord and notice a little snag in the covering around the cord. When you plug it into your iPhone, it gives you a warning that your charger may not be right for your device and begins charging slower than you want.

Even though Apple still includes a charging cord when you buy an iPhone, the original cord may snag or not be the desired length you need to charge your phone. An ideal iPhone charging cord will be durable, come in different lengths and colors, be easy to plug into your iPhone even with a case on, and bend nicely. You can find all these characteristics and so much more on our favorites list.
