Retractable Three-Tip Charging Cable Two-Pack

A spare charging cable usually has one tip, suits one kind of phone and ends up tangled at the bottom of a bag. This one runs from a single USB-A plug to three tips: Lightning, USB-C and Micro-USB. It can charge three devices at the same time, sharing up to 3 amps in total between them, and the flat cord is 4 feet long and winds back into a reel. There are two in the pack.

The catch every product here has oneIt is a charging cable first. Only the Lightning tip carries data, so the USB-C and Micro-USB ends will not run Android Auto or transfer files. Reliability is uneven: a cable can stop charging or stop retracting within a couple of months, so it makes a better spare than the only cable on a trip. It plugs in by USB-A. Check your car or charger for that port first.

Buyers report

Buyers like it for travel and for charging several devices at once, and call it convenient and practical. The reports split most on reliability: it works well in the car and charges quickly for some, while others say it stopped working or charges too slowly. Durability divides the same way, with some saying it lasts forever and others having one break after 60 days. Some say it works with all their devices, others that it will not run Android Auto or CarPlay, and the retraction works easily for some but not reliably for others.
