that's the problem

Certainly the case with my iPhone

Apple make products that are "fussy" about what they will consider to be
a suitable energy source for charging. Various combinations of resistors
between the wires an/or ground IIRC.

IME it's the cable more than the charger

Yep, Apple doesnt even bother to supply a charger
to use in your car and any of them available work
fine if you use an official lightning cable. They charge
fine from most USB outlets too with the right cable.

- very fussy about cables.

And thats a problem if you want a very
short one to use with a power bank or one
of those combined power bank cases.

Anker have been the most consistently reliable non-Apple cables I've used.
