Hi thanks. But I want to know if that first link of the dynex cable which is the more expensive of the two will work or not with the powerbank.


Again both of those links are on clearance. But are they the same cable but the first one is a bit more expensive because its more stronger construction or something?

At this point, I would suggest you direct your question(s) to Best Buy, on the product pages.

You're making this a lot harder and more involved than it has to be. If your powerbank has a USB-A port, any USB-A to Lightning cable will work with it and charge your phone. A cheaper cable may not be built as well and may break sooner - or maybe it won't. Sometimes they're more expensive because they're built better, sometimes they're more expensive because a given brand thinks they can charge more and get away with it. There are a lot of cables that are cheaper than Apple's OEM cable, but built just as well or better.

We're not talking huge finances here, buy any USB-A to Lightning cable and you'll be fine. It's just a cable, no need to make things this complicated.

The reason why I ask this is because I ordered the first link... the more expensive one. So I want to make sure it works when I receive it. Thus i dont want to open the package if i know for sure it doesn't work even though you can return it.


Thus someone commented the second link or cheaper one would work because thats the same exact usb a to lightning cable im using now with my old iphone SE and the 5w charger and the powerbank.


But if you look at the name description, it doesn't seem to be the exact same cable. But someone said when you look at the description, it is. So can someone here confirm this? Is the first link also a usb a to lightning cable? I know the second link is. My powerbank works with the current iphone charging cable that the old SE uses and its the same cable that came with the old SE years ago.
 
As @azhava mentioned any USB-A to lightning cable will work with a USB-A outlet.

Same goes for USB-C outlet. No matter if you want to charge iphone SE or 13. Actually All iphones since iphone 5…

Imho you over complicated this topic and by that many questions there is always one guy in the internet who tells you something different.

As already mentioned, they both say usb a.

From the pictures it looks like the only difference is the first cable is slightly thicker, more durable.

At this point they only way you’ll know if it works is to open & confirm.
