What it does

A two pack of 6 foot MFi certified USB-C to Lightning cables from Anker for fast charging Lightning iPhones, iPads and AirPods; reviewed here in place of the unbranded 20W charger and cable 2 pack it resembles.

Two 6 foot cables, long enough for a bed or couch
MFi certification for Lightning devices, as Anker states
Supports iPhone fast charging with a USB-C Power Delivery charger
Also syncs data with a USB-C computer
Anker lists iPhone 8 through iPhone 14, several iPads and AirPods as compatible

A good fit for anyone with a Lightning iPhone and a USB-C wall charger who wants two long, certified cables from a known brand. The trade-offs are that no charger is included, it will not work with older USB-A bricks, and it does nothing for iPhone 15 and later, which use USB-C.
