As someone who has dealt with plenty of broken iPhone charging cables over the year, I was excited to see a rumor about Apple fixing the problem with the launch of the iPhone 12. Reports said that while Apple would remove the charger and EarPods from the retail box, the USB-C-to-Lightning cable would come in a braided version that would be stronger than the original model. I thought I would no longer need to seek third-party braided cables, as they would ship with every iPhone going forward. However, that never happened. The woven iPhone charging cable story was one of the few iPhone 12 rumors that did not come true.
Fast-forward to Apple’s “Spring Loaded” event where Apple unveiled plenty of new products; you’ll find a few exciting surprises from the iPhone maker. Apple brought back MagSafe charging to the Mac by adding a magnetic power connector to the iMac without actually calling it MagSafe. Apple also revealed that the iMac charger would feature a “beautifully woven 2-meter-long color-matched cable.” That seemed to be the kind of cable I was expecting for the iPhone, but it was bundled with an unexpected product. Little did I know that Apple does have its own woven USB-C-to-Lightning Cable. You just have to purchase it together with a new 24-inch iMac, which starts at $1,299.
