Scosche's new Strikeline USB-C to Lightning cable is now available, letting you power up your iPhone significantly faster than the typical USB-A.
The Scosche CI44-SP Strikeline cable runs four feet in length with USB-C on one end and Lightning on the other and is available in black. The cable is certified through Apple to ensure it works properly with your device.
Apple's iPhone X and newer support Fast Charge, which is significantly quicker at charging your iPhone than a USB-A cable. To do so, you need a USB-C Lightning cable — such as the Strikeline — and a USB-C charging brick. With those, you can achieve 50 percent charge in only 30 minutes.

Thus far, only Anker has been shipping a USB-C Lightning cable, with everyone else awaiting on Apple's MFi certification.
You can pick up the Scosche Strikeline USB-C to Lightning cable right now on Amazon for $24.99.

Apple's USB-C to lightening 3ft cable MQGJ2AM/A costs $19 with free shipping. Anker similar 3ft cable on Amazon $18 and Scoche 4ft $25. I think I will go with Apple.
When are these cables going to start coming down in price?
The $19 Apple cable works great. I am using this paired with a 29W USB-C charger for my iPhone Xs, iPad mini (4th generation, which does not benefit from the fast charge feature) and my 2017 MacBook (paired with a USB-C cable). When traveling, I also toss in the standard 5W USB charger with the appropriate Lightning-to-USB-A cable.
Good to know there are third-party options which always have the possibility of future price reductions.
