The material TPE is quite similar to the original Apple cable, with the good and the bad that this entails, that is, most likely it will turn yellow over time and it can be split, however this Ugreen is of better quality as it is thicker, Which makes it more resilient. Even the base of the Lightning port is larger and thicker than that of Apple as you can see in the photo, therefore the conclusion is that the Ugreen cable is better and costs half as much as the original Apple.
