Right angle iPhone lightning charger cables
It’s easy to kill cables. Lengthy ones, short ones, and even those made with sturdy materials. When you’re holding a device that’s also charging, the cable tends to become bent at an angle. It’s usually a gentle bending force, but it’s a bending force nonetheless. And it can wear the cable to death.
Right angle connectors are a smart solution to a simple problem. They help make cables last longer. They prevent cables from sticking out awkwardly while plugged in, or otherwise getting in the way of your hands. And they’re really not more expensive or complicated than any other cable.
