Picking the best USB-C accessories for iPhone 15

Chances are you’re already drowning in USB-C cables and accessories. Almost every gadget-maker, including Apple (just not on iPhone), has been using USB-C for connectivity for years now. But, of course, you can never have too many. It’s always good to have backups for when they inevitably break or go AWOL.

And what’s great about the USB-C standard is the insane range of compatible accessories on offer. Whether you want super-sturdy cables you can’t split, ultra-fast adapters for the fastest possible charges, or beefy power banks that will get you through a whole weekend away from a power outlet, it’s all available with USB-C.

Here are some of the best USB-C accessories you can (and probably should) buy right now for iPhone 15.

Best braided USB-C cable for iPhone 15

Braided cables tend to be some of the most durable money can buy, so if you find yourself breaking cords on a regular basis, do yourself a favor and grab some. These ones from Anker are incredibly tough, and ideal for the iPhone 15 lineup, with support for high-speed charging at up to 60W — more than your iPhone really needs.

They also support data transfer. And, at 6 feet in length, they should be more than long enough for watching YouTube videos in bed while your iPhone is on charge. Get a pack of two for less than $13.

If you want to monitor your iPhone’s charging speeds, or you simply love things that light up, check out this awesome USB-C cable from CableCreation. Its built-in display shows you exactly how much power is being pushed into your devices while they’re charging.

It’s also braided for durability, measures in at 6.6 feet, and supports charging at up to 100W, making it ideal not only for iPhone, but also your iPad Pro and even your MacBook. At less than $17, it’s surprisingly affordable as well.

Shopping for backup cables on a tight budget? These USB-C cables from Anker are almost as good as those listed above, but without the fancy aluminum shrouds on each connector. They measure in at 3 feet, have the same 60W power limit and a braided sleeve, and come in a pack of two for less than $10.

Best ultra-long USB-C cable for iPhone 15

Don’t be tied down by short cables. This one from Etguuds measures a whopping 30 feet long, which makes it ideal for those who pace around the room while they’re on the phone, or only have power outlets on one side of the bed. It’s braided, supports fast charging at up to 60W, and it’s thick enough not to tangle too easily.

Toughest USB-C cable for iPhone 15

If even braided USB-C cables are no match for your strength, you’ll need something even tougher, like this “almost indestructible” TSumoCharge cord from Statik. It’s made from 6mm thick, heavy-duty silicone so it won’t split over time, with zinc alloy connector shrouds at each end that won’t implode when you stand on them.

Statik says the TSumoCharge cable is tested to withstand more than 20,000 bends, and it’s not just durability that it has in its favor. It also supports up to 100W of power, so you can use it with almost anything. Plus, it has cool lights that glow while it’s in use. What more could you want? Get yours while it’s on sale for less than $20.

Best USB-C fast charger for iPhone 15

Despite getting a USB-C port, it seems iPhone 15 isn’t capable of accepting more power than its predecessor, with 27W the most it’ll take. That means a 30W charging adapter is all you really need for the fastest possible charge, but we recommend going with something larger if you have other USB-C devices, such as an iPad Pro.

This 47W Nano 3 charger from Anker is one of the best money can buy. It’s fully compatible with iPhone 15, packs two USB-C ports for charging multiple devices simultaneously, and uses GaN technology to be beautifully compact. It’s easily a steal at less than $30.

I tried to avoid adding too many Anker products to this list, but let’s face it, Anker makes some of the finest charging accessories on the market — and they’re nicely priced. If you don’t mind sacrificing a little power, this Nano Pro charger, which offers up to 20W of juice, is a bargain at less than $14.

Best USB-C car charger for iPhone 15

Despite the fact that most gadgets now ship with USB-C connectivity, the same sadly cannot be said about vehicles yet. So, if you want to juice up your iPhone 15 while on the road, you’ll want to pick up this USB-C car charger from Alkin. It features two ports, delivers up to 60W of power, and sports a sleek design that won’t get in your way.

Best USB-C power bank for iPhone 15

With a 20,000mAh battery built-in, this Baseus power bank is enough to charge iPhone 15 Pro Max at least four times, and iPhone 15 almost six times. That’s more than enough for a weekend of camping in the woods without having to worry about a dead battery.

It packs four ports — two USB-C and two USB-A — and delivers up to 65W of power, while a display tells you how much energy you have left before the power bank needs a top-up of its own. You also get all the safety features you would expect from a decent power bank, including overcharge protection, for less than $60 while it’s on offer.

Best budget USB-C power bank for iPhone 15

If you’re looking for a power bank that’s a lot more affordable, or you just don’t need a massive battery, check out this mini portable charger instead. At 5,200mAh, it can charge iPhone 15 Pro Max to full at least once with a little juice left over, and it plugs right into the bottom of your device so it’s easy to carry around.

Sure, it probably won’t last you all weekend, but it’s ideal for really long days — and it costs less than $17.
