Really wish companies would give up on the braided cables. The soft silicone Anker has been using lately on their more expensive cables are so much better than anything braided.
Just so you all know, for about five bucks you can get a thumbnail-sized USB-C to Lightning adapter widget that weighs almost nothing and will turn any USB-C cable into this.
And, jeez... Even Apple aren't big enough bastards to sell you a leather strap to wind your cable up in.

I wanted my printer USB (forgot what it used be called). How about someone starting a kickstarter campaign.
Impossible, lol. Does it come with a burger?
Seriously though, these multi headed type cables are available at even Grocery Outlet.
Also, I have a 6-in-1 cable that has a tip that doubles as both micro usb AND lightning in the SAME adapter tip! Now that's impossible!

This beautiful specimen is what the European Union deserves... I can't wait to see what Epic's Sideload Store looks like! 😇
In all seriousness, I'm totally in favor of people creating new products and I'm sure this has a place in the market... but I'm not sure that I can bring myself to buy another cable to replace two cables that I already own. Having said that, I hope they sell enough to make back their investment.
Looks like some swag you might pick up at the insurance underwriters convention in Vegas and find in the bottom of your desk drawer decades later.
I’m hoping Apple really does switch to USB C on the North American iPhone next year so I never have to buy another damned lightning cable ever again.

Except it is what the EU is trying to prevent
It is what Apple deserves, for using different cables on different products.
"Impossible"? I guess nobody told the Chinese. I bought a triple-connector cable a year ago for less than 10 bucks. It charges lightning and USB-C at the same time, too.
It’s super convenient though for this awkward transition time until everything is USB-C.

Well its nice if people want it, for me I don't really see the use case.
if I carry 2 devices i want to cables so I can charge both at the same time.
OHH waiit - Perhaps as an office Charger - free to use in the public area, this would be great - but there are only so many of those you can sell - i Guess

For the people who must have two phones, but can't afford two cables.
I can’t stand the arrogance of brands like this. In the week that the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory announces that they have achieved net gain energy in a fusion reactor, these tech douches claim to have invented an “impossible” cable that no one wants. Get a grip you wombats.
