Belkin Boost Charge Braided USB-C to Lightning Cable | Durable Fast Charge Cable
The Lightning cable that came in the box always frays at the connector first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does MFi certification actually matter?
Yes, MFi (Made for iPhone) certification means Apple has tested the cable's chip and construction, so it won't trigger “This accessory may not be supported” warnings and won't be blocked by future iOS updates the way uncertified cables sometimes are.
Will this fast-charge my iPhone, or just regular-speed charge?
It supports fast charging when paired with an 18W or higher USB-C Power Delivery wall or car charger, the cable itself doesn't limit charging speed.
How do I know if a USB-C to Lightning cable is MFi certified?
Look for the “Made for iPhone/iPad” badge on the packaging, or check Apple's MFi accessory listings. Belkin's Boost Charge line is factory MFi-certified.
How is the braided version different from a standard rubber cable?
The nylon braid is tested to 10,000+ bend cycles versus a few hundred for typical rubber-jacketed cables, so it resists fraying at the connector far longer.
