New charging cable can top up your Android smartphone and iPhone
Tuesday, March 1, 2016 at 6:45PM
A new Kickstarter project just might be the answer to all your cross platform woes. The LMcable is a charging cable that works for both Lightning and microUSB ports, which the iPhone and Android phones use, respectively. It has a reversible male end that has two differently designed sides. One of the sides connects to the iPhone’s Lightning port and the other connects to the microUSB port of Android devices. And then its other end is a standard USB male connector. It’s a rather stylish-looking cable as it’s wrapped in leather and comes with a brass buckle to make storing it away a bit easier. It also comes in four different colors: white, brown, black, and blue. Unfortunately, it won’t do data transfers so make sure to hold on to your respective Lightning cables and microUSB cables.
The Kickstarter goal has already surpassed its $5,000 AUD goal over tenfold in 10 days. Currently the pre-orders you can still back include $21 AUD (about $20 CAD) for one LMcable, $45 (about $43) for three cables, and $1,400 (about $1,350) for the distributor pack which has 100 pieces. It’s expected to ship in April.
