TL;DR 1.5 m cable, instead of 1 m. Color-matched and braided.
I guess I don’t need to use my phone when it’s charging as much as most people, or maybe just don’t use my phone as much period
My iPhone 12 battery is kind of trash now, so using the phone plugged-in is common now.
When my battery was fresh, I would make it to the evening, plop it down, and be done. Now I need to charge once or twice in the middle of the day, and I usually notice that I need to charge while I’m using the device.
