TL;DR 1.5 m cable, instead of 1 m. Color-matched and braided.

    Lol it doesn’t matter whether I was irresponsible or not with my cables, who the fuck babies their cables anyway, for the price you pay for the iPhone those cables should be durable as hell. Even IKEA cables sells cheap cables that are braided and never break.

      I don’t baby my cables I just take care of the things I buy. If you’re not capable of the same then the problem lies with you not the cable

        Lol yes it’s my fault that the plastic just deteriorates out of nowhere. And not because Apple uses shit material. All my other cables never break or fall apart. Apple cables are the only cables that do that.

          I have 30 pin iPod cables from the 3rd gen era that I use to this day. These things don’t just self destruct.

          @IWantToFuckSpez @octalfudge @dan @Windows_95 you know, Apple cables external part biodegrades over time. It’s on purpose, so they don’t stay as waste for hundreds of years. The best thing you can do to keep them from starting biodegradation is to not exposing them to direct sunlight too much. That and storing them properly. They are braiding them now because the braiding can be recycled, and the plastic part won’t biodegrade until they recycle them.
