The Anker Flow USB-A to Lightning Cable (3 ft, Silicone) is now available on Amazon in the United States. This product was anticipated earlier this year and was launched shortly after the brand's USB-A to USB-C and USB-C to Lightning Upcycled Braided cables.
Specifications and Features
Anker claims that this 3-foot (0.9m) Flow cable offers a data transfer rate of 480 Mbps, although it does not specify the maximum charging capabilities. The product description mentions that it can provide full charging speeds for devices such as the iPhone 8 and AirPods Pro, but may be limited for other models like the iPhone 14 Series and iPad Pro 10.5. It is likely to support 12W charging. This MFi-certified cable is designed with a soft texture that helps prevent tangling and is built to endure over 25,000 bends or a force of 220 lbs (~100 kg). Additionally, it includes a silicone cable organizer and is backed by an 18-month warranty.
Availability and Pricing
You can purchase the Anker Flow USB-A to Lightning Cable (3 ft, Silicone) on Amazon US for $18.99. Currently, it is offered only in black and at this specific length. There is no information yet on whether this model will be available in other countries, such as the UK, Canada, Australia, or the Netherlands, where Anker's USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to Lightning cables are already being sold.
