Fun fact -- back when I worked at Apple as a Software Engineer, we used Anker cables. Not on occasion either, primarily.
In fact, our team time after time received a huge shipments of Anker cables (think 1000-2000 cables in their retail boxes)
- ksec 8y agoSo internally Apple knew their cables wasn't as good as Anker?
- therein 8y agoAt least among their software engineers, very much so. If Anker got a cent for each time a cable of theirs got plugged into an iPhone prototype that never left the HQ, they'd still be a huge company.
- ksec 8y agoIsn't that the biggest failure of Apple? I think the original Anker Powerline cable were good, but not great. The Powerline II was perfect. And it was only a small changes in material and design, it doesn't even break. ( The Powerline has slightly longer "tail" at the end of the plug so it doesn't take as much strain ) If Apple Engineers are not using its own Apple products than there is something very wrong.
