iPhone 14 braided cable data cable exposed, durable

It is said to be the original standard data cable for the iPhone 14 this year, in the form of Lightning to USB-C, which proves that the iPhone 14 still continues the Lightning port, which is good news for old users who have more accessories on hand.

However, the biggest change in the new data is that the white wire that has been used before has been changed to a braided cable. Compared with the current rubber, in theory, the performance of anti-bending and anti-winding will be better, and the overall will be stronger. The contacts are also said to be rhodium-plated ruthenium-plated silver contacts, which are less prone to wear and tear.

While Apple has never provided the braided cable required for the iPhone, it has built other products before, including the Thunderbolt Pro data cable, the black USB-C to Lightning cable that comes with the Mac Pro, and the HomePod braided power cable.

Overall, the new charging cable looks much better quality than the previous one. For a long time, the data cable that comes standard with the iPhone has been criticized because the quality is not hard enough. One of the most common is that the data line starts to crack after a long time.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that, judging from the current news, this braided data cable is likely to be the only accessory that comes with the iPhone 14 this year. The charging head and wired earphones will be cancelled to reduce costs. Some users of accessories can choose to use Older models, or purchased separately as needed.
