Its a real rarity to find budget products that work as advertised, but when you do find one you become overjoyed. And thats how i felt when i bought this charging cable. When i first came across this product i thought to myself, worlds fastest charging cable? That doesn't make sense... how many amps the charging brick puts out is going to differentiate the charging speed.But i was wrong. You see, the charging brick does convert the electricity from your outlet to a specific amount of voltage and amprage to your device, but in most cases you need a usb cable to transfer the electricity from the charging brick to your device. And as the energy leaves the brick it travels along the usb cable and loses energy as it travels farther and farther. But, if you have a thicker wire and sheathing (the stuff that wraps around the cables, its what you see from the outside) then less of the energy will escape and it will go straight into your phone. One might think that the difference is minuscule, but people don't realize that companies try to make as much money as possible and cut corners, even apple! So if you think they give you the best, think again! The reason why i was willing to give this product a chance is because i recently bought a asus memo tab refurbished, and the charging brick and usb cable it came with didn't seem like its supposed to go along with it. It actually took 32 hours to complete the charging! At first i thought it was a defect, but just to make sure i bought this cable.The charging time increased to 6 hours! But then i took a step further and plugged it in to the iPad charging brick, It increased to 2 and a half hours and the tablet last 2 days of use! I guess you could say I'm a satisfied buyer. Oh, and did i mention i smashed,bent, and ran over this cable? Ya it pretty durable also. The only thing that would stop someone from buying this is the is the fact that the head of the charging cable is a little bit wider than the stock, so i would keep that in mind for purchase. Also keep in mind that 3 feet is shorter than stock, about 6 in shorter. Hope this helped!
