Gone are the days of most new tech items coming with a complete charging setup. Apple stopped giving out wall adapters with its new products, and other brands, like Amazon, sneakily bundle them to make you feel like you're really getting a bargain -- like in the case of several popular Kindle bundles. But don't forget there was a time when cables, adapters, and all came in the box with your device.
Nevertheless, I guess we should be lucky that brands haven't completely rolled back on supplying charging cords. In most cases, you'll find a USB-C or similar cord included with a majority of tech related purchases, like iPhones, tablets, and more. But that doesn't mean they're good.

I've broken my fair share of cables. They snap, fray, bend, split, and sometimes, just straight up stop working. And cheap replacements don't always work, nor do I recommend using third-party charging accessories that aren't certified or follow proper standards. My biggest peeve with so many cables is they just don't hold up to expected use -- which includes bending, twisting, and more. No one's sitting perfectly positioned while charging their devices. We're all cramped up on our couch or bed cotorted in different angles to maintain reasonably comfortable give on our cord without jeopardizing our charge (I know this because I am doing it right now while I write this).
Thankfully I finally found my answer. Statik's 360 Magnetic Charging Cable is a jack of all trades -- and it glows in the dark.
Yes, you read that right. This cord will never get lost between the crevices of your couch or the dark abyss behind your bed because it literally glows when charging. There's also a plain black option if you prefer a classic look (but seriously, who doesn't love a nostalgic light-up option?).
Also: My search for the ultimate USB-C cable is over - and this one does it all
Behind the novelty of the glow, this cable is incredibly functional. It comes with multiple adapters (USB-C, Micro USB, and Apple compatible) that can easily be swapped out thanks to a strong magnetic connection. This makes this cord perfect for charging nearly all of my favorite tech devices, from my iPhone 14 Pro (lightning) to my Kindle (USB-C) to my iPad and beyond.
