A Single Cable Promises to Charge Your iOS and Android Devices

An all-in-one Lightning and microUSB cable is a smart idea, and potentially a familiar-sounding one, because back in 2016 another company tried to crowdfund a similar solution. The LMcable ultimately had its funding suspended by Kickstarter, and no products were delivered to its backers, so why should you trust the inCharge Dual Indiegogo campaign to deliver?

You shouldn’t. You should be skeptical of every product that goes the crowdfunding route, because there’s hundreds of things that can go wrong when bringing a piece of tech from the concept to final product stages. Pledging hundreds of dollars to products promising unproven technology demo’d in a nifty video is not a sound investment, but the creators of the inCharge Dual are selling their new cable for just $6 on Indiegogo. They’re not exactly reinventing the wheel either, just bringing a clever and useful upgrade to an existing product which they already successfully crowdfunded four years ago.

A single cable that can replace the USB rat’s nest I keep in my bag? Sounds like it’s worth the risk.
