Apple Type-C cable in Singapore

The Apple Type-C cable is now the standard for powering and syncing Apple devices, from the latest iPhones and iPads to MacBooks. If you’re looking for a reliable, fast charging cable that delivers speed, safety, and durability, this is the one you’ll need. At OH Mobile Tech Singapore, we stock original cables so you don’t have to second-guess whether you’re buying something genuine.

Here’s everything you should know before buying: compatibility, charging speeds, how it stacks up against other types of charging cables, and why picking the right one matters for both your device and your safety.

Why the Apple Type-C Cable Matters

Universal standard for Apple devices

Apple has now moved almost its entire ecosystem to Type-C — including the iPhone 15 series, iPad Air, iPad Pro, and MacBook. That means one cable works across multiple devices. Instead of juggling Lightning, USB-A, and other formats, you can finally simplify to a single charging cable.

Built for fast charging and high data transfer

For iPhones, iPads, and even MacBooks, the Apple Type-C connection is more than sufficient because it can fast charge devices up to 240W (on more expensive models). You can keep your MacBook charged over extended work sessions or charge an iPhone to 50% in around 30 minutes when paired with a suitable power adapter.

Durability and safety

Not every USB-C cable is made equally. After a few months, less expensive generic alternatives frequently break, overheat, or tear. Apple’s certified cables are built with reinforced sheathing, tested for safety, and designed to protect your device’s battery health over time.

Types of charging cables: Why USB-C wins

USB-A vs USB-C

USB-A to Lightning cables were utilized by the majority of previous phones and tablets. They still work but charge more slowly. Due to its greater wattage and significantly quicker transfer rates, USB-C has supplanted USB-A.

Apple Lightning vs Apple USB-C (the Apple shift)

When it comes to mounting external displays or transmitting huge video files, certain Apple Type-C ports use Thunderbolt for fast data transfer. Others are charging-focused. At OH Mobile Tech, we’ll advise which version is right for your use case so you don’t overpay for features you don’t need.

For iPhone users

Get a 1m cable if you just need a charging cable for daily use; pair with a 20W adapter for fast charging.

If you’re buying an iPad 11-inch or newer, choose a 2m cable if you want more flexibility when working or watching shows while charging.

For MacBook users

Choose the 2m 240W fast charging cable — it’s the most reliable option for high-wattage charging.

Care tips to make your cable last longer

• Don’t bend it sharply near the connector.

• Use a cable organizer or case to avoid fraying.

• Keep it away from liquids and heat.
