Just Mobile’s AluCable LED is a 1-meter aluminum-accented Lightning cable with a small LED built into the USB plug head. The light lets users know whether or not an iOS device is done charging without having to look at the device’s screen — the LED is designed to pulse amber when charging, and glow solid green when a device is fully charged.
AluCable LED appears to be well-built and comes at a $5 premium compared to Apple’s own Lightning cable. In our testing, however, AluCable LED had an issue — the light changed to solid green when our iPhone had only reached a 97 percent charge. We’ve contacted Just Mobile and will update this piece with their response. AluCable LED comes in black/gray or white/gold, and will be released in mid-June.
