The cords in my truck keep dying. Can you recommend cables to withstand life in the passenger footwell? I found a coupon code for Raycon. Are they a decent brand?
Those dang things! Totally normal lifecycle, though. Raycon is a completely OK brand, along with Anker, Cable Matters, Belkin, and Monoprice. There are others but those are easy enough to find. I definitely recommend staying away from the random weirdly named shlock purveyors on Amazon.
However… I would also steer clear of gimmicks like those “Magic” cables that Raycon offers, that swivel or with the heads that flip off to reveal a different jack. Those are just points-of-failure waiting to fall apart on you. And Raycon doesn’t appear to offer normal cables.
Their chargers themselves – the part that plugs into the wall – are fine, though.
And in terms of which type of cable to get, for the iPhone 15 you want one end to be USB-C to go into the phone, and the other end to be either USB-A or USB-C to match the charger you have in that location. Also look for “fast charging” as lesser cables might not charge at all. I think “braided” is nice, too.
This link should take you to a search that narrows things down to what I’m talking about!
