The advantage of a 90-degree Lightning cable over a regular one is that you end up with less wear and tear on the “neck” over time, especially if you often place your iPhone in a cupholder while you drive, or you like to do a bit of reading while laying in bed.

Having the cable lay flush against the bottom of the iPhone also makes it way more comfortable for gaming and movie-watching purposes, as the cable no longer has to rest awkwardly on top of or between your fingers. Great stuff all around.

Get this cable for $16 on Amazon in your choice of red or black/grey.
