I would imagine this specific cable length would be ideal for people who are charging their phones with their laptops or a portable charger as that is how I have been utilizing this

hopefully this one will last me a long time which is about 6 months since I like to use it with a portable charger that I carry around my pocket

My kid was using his 5 foot long lighting cable to charge his phone from his Anker portable charger and it was hanging down to his feet

Perfect length for connecting a portable charger to your iPhone

Wish they made USB-C to lightening as well.
