Frequently Asked Questions
How do I charge my phone while using PhoneSoap?
With the PhoneSoap 3, there is a USB port in the back of the unit to plug in your charging cord. You can charge and sanitize simultaneously, and when the sanitizing cycle is complete, your phone will continue to charge.
Can I keep the case on my phone?
Yes! In fact, we encourage you to keep your phone case on your phone while you use any of the PhoneSoap units. Most of the bacteria on our hands is passed to our phone cases. Each PhoneSoap unit was designed to fit your phone with the case on. If you have a thick case with additional accessories like a socket or stand, please refer to the dimensions on each product page to make sure it will meet your needs.
Powered-up protection
Achieve a more complete level of disinfection. During a time when disinfection is key, make sure your phone and your charging cable aren’t breeding harmful germs. Charge your phone using our specially designed cable featuring a proprietary antimicrobial formula that protects from bacteria.
An essential companion
We may touch our charging cables less than we touch our phones, but that doesn’t mean our cables aren’t crawling with germs. Charge your device with a PhoneSoap cable for better disinfection.
Lightning-fast charging
The PhoneSoap Cable charges your devices using Fast Charge at speeds up to 3A or 60W. It’s compatible with USB-C to USB-C and Lightning adaptors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does MFi certified mean for a Lightning cable?
A green light from Apple - that is what MFi stands for when it comes to iPhone, iPad, or iPod gear. Built with parts and chips given a thumbs-up by Apple, these cords keep power flow steady while moving files without hiccups across any Lightning gadget. Warnings like "this accessory isn’t supported" tend to pop up with knockoffs; they sputter during charging sessions, sometimes wearing down your battery after weeks of uneven juice delivery.
Which iPhones still use Lightning cables?
iPhones through the iPhone 14 lineup (iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max) use the Lightning connector. Starting with the iPhone 15 in 2023, Apple switched to USB-C. If you have an iPhone 14 or earlier, you need a Lightning cable. If you have an iPhone 15 or newer, you need a USB-C cable. PhoneSoap offers antimicrobial versions of both connector types.
What is an antimicrobial Lightning cable?
Lightning cable with germ-fighting properties works like any regular version but has special materials mixed into its plastic coating. Bacteria struggle to multiply because those materials disrupt their development. Often carried through messy spaces - like kitchen counters, car floors, or pockets - they pick up germs easily without protection. Hands touch them constantly, sometimes dirty ones after eating or commuting. This design helps limit what sticks around over time on something users rarely wipe down.
How long do Lightning cables typically last?
One thing most people notice: a decent Lightning cable works well between half a year and a year and a half when used every day. Bending often weakens the spot close to the plug, causing outer wear that shows up fast. Inside, strands snap after being coiled too tight, especially around sharp corners. Moisture or dust might creep into the port area, speeding up rust-like damage over time. Looser loops help - never twist them into small circles after use. When unplugging, hold the rigid end instead of yanking the flexible part. Heat exposure matters more than many think; hot spots degrade insulation slowly. If thin metal threads become visible through cracks, stop using it right then. Charging cuts out now and again? That is usually a sign it has gone too far.
Can a bad charging cable damage my iPhone?
Yes. Faulty or cheap cables often lead to issues like sluggish charging, sudden stops during power-up, excess heat, faster battery wear, sometimes even harm to the port itself. Cables without MFi approval might push unstable power levels or skip essential safeguards. A trusted, certified cord - swapped out once fraying or stiffness shows up - helps keep your gadget and its battery in better shape through months of use.
