What I Noticed, of All Off Brand Cables, other than Apple
They tend to break in inconsistent inside shorting out.
What i mean is inside chips just stop charging. = Even if outside cable looks perfectly fine = it just wont charge.
Bend Test Don’t really Matter. I has had so many cable look fine, but stop charging, i noticed some has burnt marks near chip. = Chip inside dead.
Reason Why Cables Tend to Break Fast:
Myself Ex: i tend to have my cable in portrait mode when charging while using my iPad.
The strain on cable inside to the chip that burns out before braided cable.

Outside Durablity:
Bend Your Cable: best buy is Anker Powerline + II
Inside Durablity: Apple
Not Bend Your Cable: Apple
Cheap Alternative Woven: Urgreen & Baseus, & other brands
Expensive: No, since inside chip burns out, before outer shell nylon.

Magnetic Cables: I don’t recommend them
Pros: easy accessibility
Cons: within months to 1 Year ish, they are Guaranteed to Break.
They can short out your lightning or usb c port or even kill your device, due to the ports are not built to withstand MagSafe.

Apple Cable Non Woven
Pros: both models of 1 or 2 Meters is 100 Watt Charging Speed,
Cons: durability the issue, you break the cable soft rubber, before it stop charging on you.
Apple Cable Woven
2 Models:
1 Meter Cable: has No E-Chip = Limited to 60 Watts Charging Speed, 480mbps.
2 Meter Cable: 240W 40gbps
Cons: White color will stain, better quality, but i feel it still not as durable, as i wanted.
While you can put on a heat shrink tube on strain part, it makes cable less flexible.
Which is why i like Apple Magsafe Charger, since it doesn’t deal with any port future Issues.

Anker –
Cons: I noticed they like to short and stop working, they have inconsistent durability now days.
Warranty is No longer Lifetime for 99% of products.
Some Products sometimes change from Lifetime to 12 or 24 months in Listing Page, so remember to always take a screen shot of the listing o show proof when you bought it, it was lifetime warranty.
Reason why i think they Stopped Offering Lifetime is: they know most of it will die within 2 years.
Anker Powerline + II – seems to be its best option, lifetime warrenty, durable than others versions of its cables.
