2) Anker 765 USB-C 140W
Price: $29.99
The Anker 765 is probably one of the most popular cables sold by the brand. It has the most wattage on the list as well, which isn't that important when it comes to charging your iPhone 15. It finds purpose in charging laptops or other devices that require more power. While it is more expensive than other options, it is also the most durable with its durable braided build.
This USB-C cable also has a transfer rate of 480 Mbps, allowing for speedy data transfers across devices. The cable also comes in two length variants, which is quite handy to some users.

3) Ugreen 100W USB-C
Price: $15.99
I stumbled across the Ugreen 100W USB-C cable on a Reddit post and it offers quite an interesting set of features and value for money at $15. The 100W output supposedly charges up to 52% faster than a standard 60W charging cable. Moreover, it has a fast transfer rate of 480 Mbps, so large files can be moved in less than 30 seconds.
The cable has a unique design, with one end being angled at 90 degrees, for an easier fit to your iPhone. The braided design adds to the durability.
Pros:
- Offers a good balance of affordability and power
- It supports super-fast charging for most devices
- it is a relatively inexpensive option
Cons:
- Comes from a less established brand compared to Anker or Belkin
4) Anker 643 USB-C 100W
Price: $22.99
The Anker 643 comes in multiple colors and has a super soft silicone finish to the body. Its 100W allows for fast charging not only on your iPhone but also on more demanding devices like laptops. Apart from fast charging, it is also useful to transfer large files in seconds due to its 480 Mbps transfer speed.
The cable is quite durable and is built in a way that prevents tangling or clutter. You get the cable in two length variants, which adds further ease of use.
Pros:
- Offers a solid wattage of 100W for fast charging
- Provides great quality even though it is not braided like the other cables
- It is a cheaper alternative to the Anker 765 cable
Cons:
- It is more expensive than Ugreen with similar wattage
- May be overkill for iPhone 15 charging needs
5) Cable Matters [USB-IF Certified] 10 Gbps Gen 2 cable
Price: $12.99
Lastly, we have a 100W USB-C cable by Cable Matters. What makes the cable so impressive is its incredibly fast transfer speed of 10 Gbps. That's right, it's not in MB, but rather in gigabytes. This means you can transfer huge files in a matter of seconds. Moreover, the 100W cable is sufficient to charge up your iPhone 15 quite quickly.
The cable is very affordable and may be the reason for the generic build quality. While it will last you a while, it certainly can't compete with other brands due to its basic silicone covering.
Pros:
- It is the most affordable option
- It is USB-IF certified for guaranteed compatibility
- Has a super fast 10 Gbps data transfer speed
Cons:
- It might not be as durable as braided nylon cables
