1m Double USB-C
Apple
AECH3486765

Apple's latest 1-metre charging cable features a more durable woven (braided) design. This replaces the previous rubberized plastic coating that was known for fraying and breaking near the connectors.

Enhanced Durability
| The primary improvement is the shift from smooth plastic to a robust woven nylon sleeve. | Fraying Resistance | The braided exterior is far less likely to tear or fray with frequent winding and tugging. |
| Flexibility | According to experts from Innergie, woven designs allow pressure to be more evenly distributed across the cable head, which is a common stress point. | ||
| Tangle Prevention | Tangle Prevention | ||
Technical Specifications
| The standard 1m cable has transitioned to USB-C on both ends, moving away from the proprietary Lightning connector. | Power Delivery | It supports charging of up to 60 watts, making it powerful enough to charge devices ranging from iPhones to MacBook Air models. |
| Data Transfer | Despite the physical design improvements, it still transfers data at USB 2 speeds (480Mbps), which is the same as the older Lightning cables. | ||
| Fast Charging | When paired with a compatible 20W or higher power adapter, it can fast-charge an iPhone to 50% in approximately 30 minutes. |


Design and Build Quality
Recent versions of Apple's 1m USB-C cables have moved to a woven (braided) exterior, which users find significantly more durable and premium than older rubberized versions.
Woven Texture
The braided material is soft to the touch and helps prevent the cable from tangling, according to reviews on ChargerLab.
Durability
Users on Amazon and Best Buy report that the reinforced design is less prone to fraying at the connectors, a common issue with previous Apple cables.

Flexibility
Despite its sturdiness, the cable remains flexible and easy to coil for storage.
Charging and Performance
The cable is optimized for the Apple ecosystem but works with any USB-C device, including Android smartphones and tablets.
Power Output
It supports up to 60 watts of power delivery, which is enough to fast-charge an iPhone 15/16, iPad Pro, or a MacBook Air.
Data Transfer
According to Apple's official specifications, the cable transfers data at USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480 Mbps). It is not suitable for high-speed file transfers or connecting to high-resolution displays.
Compatibility
It is universally compatible with USB-C power adapters, though Apple recommends pairing it with their official chargers for the best performance.
