These cables are certified by Apple and tested on safety and compatibility, so they're a safe choice for all your Apple devices. Apple has a test program for all third party Lightning cables. If a Lightning cable is approved, it gets the MFI (Made For iPhone/iPad) certification, which you can recognize by the MFI logo. In the worst case, cables that aren't certified can harm the battery or Lightning port of your Apple device. Choose a sturdy nylon MFI cable if you want the cable to last long. Are you looking for a cable for your new iPad Pro, Mini, or Air? In that case, you don't need a Lightning cable, but a USB-C cable.
