If you want to carry on using your iPhone while charging then you’ll know you have to position yourself near a plug point or free USB socket. This can make using your iPhone on your sofa or bed pretty awkward. Extra long iPhone cables are a simple solution to this (as demonstrated below by our glamorous assistant), so we’ve picked out some of the best around.
Extra Long Lightning Charge and Sync Cable – 3m
This 3 metre cable gives you plenty of extra freedom over your original Apple charger. It’s fully compatible with iOS 7 and later which means no annoying warning messages when you plug in and it supports both charging and syncing with a pc or laptop, so particularly useful if your computer is tucked away at the back of your desk.
Belkin Lightning Charge & Sync Cables – 2m, 3m
If you’ve purchased spare cables and chargers before you’ll have probably heard of Belkin. They offer good quality, Apple “Made for iPhone” certified charging cables and have both 2m and 3m options available, depending on how much extra reach you need.
Native Union Lightning Belt Cable 3m – Zebra
You’d be forgiven for thinking that extra long iPhone cables are boringly basic in design, but this zebra patterned belt cable by Native Union looks to bring a bit of style to your day to day charging. The buttoned belt strap is a nice feature, letting you neatly pack away the cable when not in use.
Olixar Multi-length Lightning Charge & Sync Cable 4 Pack
Arguably the best option to satisfy all your charging cable needs is the Olixar Multi-length iPhone cable pack. As well as a 3m extra long cable, you get two 1m standard length cables and a short 10cm cable which is more ideal for travelling and use with portable chargers. The slim tip of the Lightning connectors mean they’re all case compatible. Top marks for convenience and value for money.
