Smartphones and tablets are an inextricable part of modern life. And with navigation software and the constant flood of fascinating podcasts out there, they’ve also become an essential part of modern driving. This state of affairs leaves us painfully beholden to the cables that power those devices.
But not all of those cables are equal. They can be flimsy, or unwieldy to use while driving. And ferrying the same cable from house to office to car and back again means it’s more likely to wear out more quickly, after being plugged, unplugged and handled over and over again.
Instead of trying to use that single cord that came with your phone for everything, consider snatching up one of these great third-party cables and leaving it in the car (or at least with you) all the time. After all, isn’t tech supposed to make life easier?
