Apple has always been a company about streamlining processes and trying to gracefully simplify how all your tech works as well as how it works together. With that in mind, it always just seemed like a matter of time before Apple owners found a way to bridge the gap between Lightning-charged devices like the iPhone or iPad and the connection-free wireless charging abilities of a device like the Apple Watch. Well, how about a cable that just does both? This 3-in-1 Apple Watch and Lightning Charger Cable ($16.99, 57 percent off, from TNW Deals) earns points for being all things to all Apple users, a versatile connector that can deliver power to any of your Apple devices just the way you want it. Since simplicity is still the easiest route between two points, Tech Zebra crafted this 4-foot cable to serve all masters, a lightweight, easy-to-use charger that lets users charge their iPhone and their Apple Watch simultaneously with just one cord. Instead of stringing multiple wires around your desk, this simple length brings into a basic USB, then feeds out into three separate connectors — 2 for Lightning-compatible devices like an iPhone and AirPods, and a third with the magnetic collector engineered for delivering power to an Apple Watch via the company’s MagSafe charging system. And it doesn’t hurt that all three of these connectors can be working at once, offering one cable to keep all of your Apple products at full power when needed. Unlike typical Apple cables that have a tendency to snap like twigs in a high wind, this cord is made of sterner stuff, fashioned from top-quality ABS and aluminum alloy material to guarantee the kind of durability needed to serve as a charging go-to for months and years to come. And at nearly 60 percent off, this is a good time to double up on the 3-in-1 Apple Watch and Lightning Charger Cable and get one for home use and another to stash in your vehicle so you’re always ready. Each single connector is only $16.99, a savings of over $20 off the retail price. Meanwhile, this cable is a bit of a fashion plate too, with a host of different color configurations to fit anyone’s personal aesthetic. It’s available in basic Apple white, as well as blue, red, gray, pink, and purple varieties. Prices are subject to change.
