What’s wrong with something like this?
You probably won’t get full charging speed. An actual type-c cable gives higher watts than lightning.
I have a $2 USB C cable I got off of Ali that I use to charge my laptop at 65W. It's rated for 100W but I have no way of testing it.
It's actually higher quality than any official apple cable I've used, although that's a pretty low bar.
That sounds a bit too good to be true.
