Reason why I'm particular about cables is because my old iPhone's board got damaged most likely because of cheap cables.

I used to find lightning cables overpriced at 1k per cable. So I used those cheap cables from Cable Monster and CDR King and the tiangges. It would charge for a few days, then suddenly won't. These are most likely not MFI certified.

Then one day, my iPhone died. Thankfully it was covered by warranty so I got a new one since it was the board that went kaput. Since then, I've never used a fake lightning cable again.

Then when I shifted to Samsung with a Note 5, not all of the cables I used supported quick charging. The cheaper ones certainly don't. So I always used original Samsung cables which were just 500 per piece and came with 1 yr warranty.

Now that I have an S8, I have to invest in a new set of chargers again. The orig Samsung USB-C cable which costs 500 is pretty decent since it charges at full speed, but warranty is only 3 months and the build quality is questionable as it's thinner than the old microUSB cables from the S7 Edge and Note 5.

Among the locally available chargers, only Anker offers an 18 month warranty which is pretty compelling for the 650-peso price tag.

I have the impression that an Anker cable would outlast all other cheap cables that don't even come with warranty.
