Apple’s standard Lightning cables are the lifelines for our iDevices. But they’re not perfect, prone to frays and tears, getting tangled, and coming up short with reach. So this extra long, tangle-free Lightning cable is worth checking out.
Apple is expected to make drastic improvements to the iPad Pro this fall to introduce edge-to-edge screens and Face ID. But there could be some unexpected changes, too.
