GadJet Magic Cable – One cable to charge your iPhone and micro USB devices – Review

GadJet Magic Cable   One cable to charge your iPhone and micro USB devices   ReviewOK. Are you ready to have your mind blown? To be honest I was going to put “This will blow your mind – charge your iPhone and your Android phone with one cable” in the title, but it sounded a little too click-baity.

Whether your main handset is an iPhone or an Android phone, this is something that’ll be very useful. On one end, a standard USB port. On the other, a port that doubles as a Lightning connector and a micro USB connector. Yes, that sounds impossible, but believe me it’s not.

In practice, it fits into an Android (or Bluetooth speaker, or Bluetooth headset, a tablet, TV stick or anything else) very easily. As with all micro USB cables, you can only really put it in one way up. It worked well for these devices, I must say.

The design and quality of the cable and the end connectors is great, and hopefully some of these up-close shots will show that. This is the red and silver one, but you can get this 1.2 metre cable in black and gold too.

It’s ideal if you’ve got an iPhone and a Bluetooth speaker – just take this one cable with you instead of two. Likewise, if you’ve got an Android device and an iPad this is going to be beneficial.
