With an original Apple Lightning cable, you can charge your iPhone 14 or older and some other Apple devices. These cables are made by Apple and are safe for your charging port and battery. Check if your device has a Lightning port. That's because the iPhone 15 and more recent iPad models have a USB-C port. Choose a cable that's 2m or longer if you want more freedom of movement while you charge. Apple makes plastic cables that break faster than nylon or kevlar cables. Buy a sturdy cable from another brand if you want a cable that lasts a long time.
