Apparently Apple changed the make-up of the rubbery/plastic insulation of their cables to cut some toxins from the manufacturing process: > Both are still used by other companies in power cords and headphone cables. We have replaced PVC and phthalates with thermoplastic elastomers. http://www.apple.com/ca/environment/safer-materials/ http://www.apple.com/ca/environment/safer-materials/ Right at the bottom in small print it says: > * Every Apple product is free of PVC and phthalates with the exception of power cords in India and South Korea, where we continue to seek government approval for our PVC and phthalates replacement. Anyone from India or South Korea care to comment on whether there's a noticeable difference between the quality of the cables on the power cords vs an Apple headphone lead or something?
