So if you're planning on getting a USB-C cable, pay attention to the USB version. Out of the 21 cables in my test group, only 4 were USB-C 3.x. Within that group, two were USB-C 3.2 and two were USB-C 3.1 and biggest difference from what I saw came from the data transfer speeds. Now, even within the USB-C 3.1 and 3.2, there are variants where an older version is faster than a newer version. For example, USB 3.1 Gen 2 has faster download speeds than USB 3.2 Gen 1. What a dumpster fire...

Reviewer not influencer eh... It's a dumpster fire because you did now know the difference between USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB 3.1 Gen 2, and USB 3.2 when you initially shot and edited the video? Did you even know that only the 15 Pro phones support USB 3 when you shot and edited this video? Your video is a dumpster fire. Oh but all that time you spent making this nonsensical video, gotta monetize it someway right? Let's not forget that afflilliate link revenue... You have lost all credibility as an honest reviewer. Let's see how you censor your comments section.

It’s because of the cable length. There is no sense in getting 3.2 if it’s 1m+ as the signal diminishes too fast (only exception is glass-fiber cables - but you would notice that heavily in pricing of the product). So maybe make a video for the best charging cables (like MacBooks can handle 120w which most cables do not support) and one for the best data cables (they are going to be shorter than 1m then - so between 0.5 to 0.8 m). Makes the most sense financially as well as effectively. A charging cable that is 0.5m is annoying- a data cable that can handle only 5 Gbit/s instead of 10 is also annoying. Moreover, great charging cables (not regarding iPhone as it is 30w only) are hard to find and can get pricey. What would also be interesting is have they been tested for hazardous chemicals (like ROHS certification) - there is no sense (at least imo) to use a cable that you need to wash your hands after every contact. Especially regarding eating / preparing food after that (and yes at home that should be normal - but still on the go that’s not always possible) or going to bed (like also having the cable in bed etc). So this would also be something worth looking at in my opinion.

USB 3.1 = USB 3.2 Gen 1 = 5Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 = USB 3.2 Gen 2 = 10 Gbps

One of the reasons why I like to watch this channel is that Monty looks a lot like my dog who had passed away. You are not forgotten Oscar, I still miss you.

People like yourself help companies get greater recognition whilst helping your audience and customers learn about the superior products we need. Excellent channel, amazing video, thank you and I have subscribed!

Another awesomely made video, I love watching your reviews over many other because you get right to the problem and tell us the solution.

As far as charging the iPhone 15 goes, any compliant USB-C cable will deliver 60W at minimum which is double what the phone will draw, so technically any compliant USB-C cable at all is sufficient. The only limiting factor for charging is the power adapter you're using. Data transfer is what's confusing. The Pro models have USB 3.2 Gen 2 which allows for 10Gbps, but not every USB 3.2 Gen 2 cable is transferring data at that speed from/to an iPhone 15 and I don't think anyone has figured out why yet. There are lots of threads about this on Macrumors and the iPhone subreddit. EDIT: Just watched the video now that it's available. Thank you for all that testing. Ordered two of those Mophies. Hopefully Apple will clear up the confusion.

Great video as usual. I have to say that I rely on you for most of my accessory purchases. Love your style, really appreciate your thoroughness especially appreciate the pace of your videos. Well done once again.

I haven't tried these yet, but just wanted to share with you. Enjoying your videos-very informative.

Been following you since your iphone 5 days and i am so happy and proud to have seen your growth, I have been an on-off sub for a while but I like seeing the changes and improvements on your videos. I still remember you throwing rocks or pebbles on the Lunatik taktic cases of yesteryears. =)

Always blowing us away with this solid review content 😎 💪 sending good vibes from Winnipeg!

Glad to see Cable Matters in this list. My husband and I stand by this brand - their cables last a long time!! I’ve burned through Anker and various off brand ones.

Great vid! Would love something on charging blocks or just general best charging setups for the 15 Pro

Thanks for making the video. Thanks for pointing out the fine details about cables. I will purchase base off your hard work. Using your links of course.

Your dog is ADORABLE!!! What a great assistant! Hope he's well compensated with RSUs! 😊

Right on time with this!! Can’t wait

Love your videos. Super informative, thank you!

Great review on these products. I wish you had yet to mention the low price for the Mophi cable since now there's a chance they might raise the price.

Thank you for posting this helpful video!

I'm generally happy with fasgear and amazon basics cables, thanks for testing.

Thank you for your very useful video with great links. Take care.

Because of all the strangeness with USB cables I’ve been buying Thunderbolt cables for several years. Now I just buy TB 4 cables. They work on everything at full speeds for both power delivery and transfer speeds. Older TB 3 cables might be a bit slower on charging some very high speed charge devices, but otherwise they’re more obsolescence proof. Yes, they may cost more, but they last much longer too.

Thank you so much for your review. I appreciate your effort

Not sure why the algorithm stopped recommending your videos. I'll say it's been months, I'm just going to bookmark and check daily. Thank you for always making honest reviews.

Great review as always, thank you! Any advice on the usb c cable for the Apple CarPlay? Preferably the ucb c and lightning to usb 2 :) Challenging, right?

My two very recent Apple purchases use braided cables. I love them.

Im just here to watch Monty be a good boy.

Much anticipated your amazing I love my esr magback wallet but please could you have Canadian Amazon links to the specific products.

I recently purchase a set of cables you recommended and they are great. I'm curious if you have ever done a comparison on wall chargers? Just want to make sure I'm getting the most out of my cables when charging my phones and tablets. Thanks again for all your videos, they are most helpful.

I liked the video (and the well dressed dog) Here's what would have made jt better for me: 1. Info about the cost of each cable at the time you were presenting them 2. A final screen, even a text list, of your final recommendations for a 2.0 and 3.0 that I could screencap so I'd have it available when I went to order. Thanks for your thoughtful video

Thank you for making all these iPhone 15 videos 🐐

Thanks for putting the time into solving one of life's mysteries. :)

Didn’t know this about II & III THX!

Great video. I’d like to see a video on the fastest charging usb-c y-splitter.

Love your content.

thank you for this video. there are a lot of confusion on USB-C.

This is useful, thanks. Atm I am using the usb c cable that came with my iPad Pro m1 as well as a usbc to a cable i got with my DJI gimbal, both have been working out ok, the DJI cable is notably slower, but the charging block I am using is an Anker Gan with 1 USB c port and 1 USB a port.

I find it hard sometimes that amazon gets so many knockoff cables that dont work as they describe. Looking forward to this video.!!

Monoprice has the best USB-C charging cables that I have ever tried, by far. The physical connection is very snug and secure. My priority is charging speed (100 W, so my laptop can charge) and cable length (10 ft), not USB3 data speeds. I think lots of people would be served far better by those two attributes than transfer speeds they are unlikely to ever use.

Im not too concerned with charging speed as im usually at night when im charging. With that in mind ive been pleasantly suprised with the ikea charging cables around $5-$8 depending if its lightning or usb c. Great content as usual!

I’d love it if you could do a review on different cases with stands built in (ex: Casekoo, ESR, Spigen, etc) I’m a big stand guy when it comes to cases but have started to rely on your reviews!

We appreciate you Aaron.

99% of users do not do data transfers. The main question is how fast do they charge?

Is there any way you can do a 3-5 month update how these are holding up? Obviously you can’t do durability test now but I think durability of a lot of these is something SUPER important aside from them being 2.0 or 3.0. Personally even with my 15 Pro I am one of them that could care less about transfer speeds so yeah, durability is my biggest thing for sure. Been lucky with Anker and if they ever failed me, just contact them and they sent a new one so I know I can rely on them.

Oh, come on. How can I listen to what you're saying? I am obsessed with how precious your dog is. Can't get enough. I just found you and subbed just to look at your dog.🐶

hey there! great videos! have you reviewed any screen protectors / tempered glasses yet for the 15 pro?

I ordered the Mophie USB-C 3.1 last week, and now I'm glad I did. It was one of the few that listed the USB version. I also got a similar USB tester because I was so annoyed at having USB-C cables that only charge, not to mention how bad Power Delivery makes things since they don't always push 5V 0.5-1A along with v2.0 data on all the time.

excellent job

I love your explanation on things you make great videos with good information !! I’m coming to you with a question because I need some help!! what is the best way of organizing all your charging cables for different things how can i label them ?

I bought a usb c cable and it’s amazing it has some of the lowest charge speeds and the lowest data transfer speeds and it’s 9m long!!! Worth every penny

UGreen make some of my favourite cables that I order from Amazon!

I’ve been waiting for a video like this!!! I have an ignorant question: I ordered the FiFine K688 USB mic for podcasting. When I connect it to my macbook, I need a usb-c to usb-c connection. Do you have any suggestions on the best cable to use for digital voice communications when connecting my mac directly into a USB-c mic?

There are a bunch of 2.6 ft passive USB 4 cables at Amazon that do 40gbps data transfer and can power most laptops, for around 20 bucks. If you get longer than that, data transfers drop to 20gbps or less, unless they’re an active cable. To me these cables should be topping your list.

It appears there are two different Mophie charging cables. One is $9.99 and the other is $14.99 which are both different in length. Are these the same cables or one is superior? The link you provided for Mophie doesn’t go to a specific product. Thanks!

Worth noting that official apple cases as well as many third party cases have a very small charging cable cutout and so around 50% of usb-c cables won’t fit so you’ll have to ruin the case to make the cutout bigger or take the case off every time you charge your phone.
