apple cables are all poorly made and 3rd party ones are always better.

"normal use" for a lot of people is wrapping the cable around the unit as tight as possible while still plugged in. this is how they get frayed

people treat their detachable cables on they phones like they treat their nintendo controllers

they should be designed as such

because of apples
moronic way of usin the data lines and some resistors to confirm that you've got legit charger [easy to fake] it makes the cables fail for charging very easy, even if the power lines are fine

gently caress heads
