None of my Lightning cables are “Apple certified”. They all transfer data find.

These are my “universal charging cables”

- USB A/USB C on one end

- USB C/Lightning on the other

They transfer data at USB 2 speeds

But my truly universal cables are these

https://a.co/d/4NVYrmN

- USB A/USB C on one end

- lightning/USB C/MicroUSB on the other end

- 10 Gbps data

- 100W charging

- video over USB C for my portable display that gets power and video over 1 cable

These are thicker and less convenient than the first ones.
