My 1-star review is not really indicative of the product - I’m sure it’s perfect in-and-of itself - but of its practical usefulness. Thanks to it not being an official Apple product, it’s rickity to say the least. I’ve owned non-Apple cables in the past and they have been fine, and I don’t doubt that a few iOS updates ago this would also have been fine. However, the phone ‘knows’ this product is not manufactured by the hands of an desperately underpaid Apple sweatshop worker (I hate myself), but rather by the hands of (probably) an equally destitute soul. The commercial guys at Anker have evidently not met Apple’s valuations as a third-party manufacturer, so iOS has responded by punishing us, the consumer. So, this 1-star review is not of this Anker product; this 1-star review is for my inability to cope with inconvenience, my self-loathing for being ensnared by branding and the first world problems of intermittent charging. Otherwise, it’s good.
P.S. I bought a couple of different lengths of this cable, so have copied-and-pasted this to each.
