The Apple 60W USB-C Charge Cable is the correct cable for fast charging iPhone 15, 16, and 17 with any USB-C Power Delivery charger. It supports up to 60W of power transfer and is fully compatible with all USB-C Apple devices — iPhones, iPads, and MacBook Air — making it the most versatile cable in Apple's lineup for Pakistani users.
⚡ Quick Answer
The Apple 60W USB-C Cable is the right cable for iPhone 15, 16, and 17 (all models). It supports USB-C Power Delivery up to 60W, enabling fast charging when paired with a 20W or 40W Apple adapter. It also works for iPad (USB-C models) and MacBook Air at light charging loads. At iSmart Hub, it's 100% original, serial-verified, and available with COD across Pakistan. One cable for your entire USB-C Apple setup.
Why the Cable Matters as Much as the Charger
Many Pakistani buyers invest in an original Apple charger but pair it with a cheap third-party cable — and then wonder why fast charging isn't working. Here's the truth: the cable is half the equation.
A low-quality USB-C cable may only support 5W or 18W even if your charger can deliver 40W. The Apple 60W USB-C cable is rated to carry up to 60 watts safely, ensuring your charger's full output actually reaches your device.

60W vs 240W Apple Cable — Which Do You Need?
Apple also makes a 240W USB-C cable — so which should you buy?
| Feature | Apple 60W Cable (1m) | Apple 240W Cable (2m) |
|---|---|---|
| Max power | 60W | 240W |
| Length | 1 metre | 2 metres |

| Price | More affordable | Higher |
| Everyday carry | ✅ Compact, lighter | ⚠️ Slightly bulkier |
Simple rule: If you only charge iPhones, iPads, and MacBook Air — the 60W cable is all you need. If you have a MacBook Pro or want a longer cable for desk use, get the Apple 240W USB-C Cable (2m).
What Is Apple authenticity?
MFi stands for Made for iPhone/iPad/Mac — Apple's official certification program for accessories. An original Apple cable has been tested and approved by Apple to meet safety and performance standards. It contains a certified chip that iPhones recognise as a trusted accessory.
Non-original Apple cables trigger the dreaded "This accessory may not be supported" warning on your iPhone — and may charge at reduced speed or not at all. The Apple 60W USB-C cable at iSmart Hub is fully Apple original and original — no warnings, full speed.
Cable Length — Does 1 Metre Work in Pakistan?
For most Pakistani use cases — charging on a bedside table, desk, or from a wall socket — 1 metre is sufficient. If your socket is further away (common in older Pakistani homes where sockets are placed low on walls), the Apple 240W 2m cable gives you the extra reach.
How to Spot a Fake Apple USB-C Cable
- Check the connector: Original Apple USB-C connectors have a clean, smooth finish with tight tolerances. Fakes feel slightly loose or have rough edges.
- Check the cable body: Apple's cable has a consistent, slightly textured white finish. Fakes often feel rubbery or have uneven thickness.
- Check the text: The model number and regulatory text near the connector should be laser-printed, sharp, and legible. Blurry or missing text = fake.
- Test charging speed: A genuine 60W cable with a 20W charger should fast-charge your iPhone 16 to 50% in ~30 minutes. Significantly longer = suspect cable.

FAQ
Does the Apple 60W cable work with iPhone 14 or older?
No — iPhone 14 and older use Lightning ports. You need the Apple USB-C to Lightning Cable for those models.
Can I use the 60W cable with a non-Apple charger?
Yes — the 60W cable works with any USB-C PD charger (Anker, Baseus, etc.). The cable is the conductor; the charger provides the power. Use a quality charger to get full speed.
Will the 60W cable charge my MacBook Pro?
It will charge it slowly. MacBook Pro prefers 67W–96W. For MacBook Pro, the Apple 240W cable paired with a higher-wattage charger is the right setup.
Why does my iPhone say "accessory may not be supported"?
This happens with non-compliant or unknown-brand or counterfeit cables. The Apple 60W cable from iSmart Hub is fully Apple original — you will never see this warning with an original Apple cable.
Is the Apple 60W cable available with COD in Lahore and Karachi?
Yes — iSmart Hub delivers Cash on Delivery to Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, and cities across Pakistan via LCS-Trax.
