Interesting. In my over decade of MacBook ownership (about 5 or 6 MacBooks in total across my personal, work and wife's devices), I've never had a single problem with fraying cords.
- ultramancool 10y agoHappened to me in about 4 or 5 months. Ridiculously crappy, quicker than the ones Lenovo and Dell ship even. I expected better build quality from Apple but given the heat and noise issues I have I don't really think I've seen it. First time I've been an Apple customer and probably the last.
- bArray 10y agoHow long did you get out of your Dell charger for comparison? I've seen two solid years out of mine literally moved about all the time, every single day. I always fold it well when I put it in my bag though as to not bend near the connector. The worst thing that happened was one of the dell chargers started making a quiet beeping/buzzing sound - I read it was to do with the components coming lose inside and the sound was caused by the switching supply. I decided out of choice to get another, although there was nothing actually wrong with it as far as performance goes.
- randycupertino 10y agoMine fray constantly. I've never owned an apple device that HASN'T had terrible cords. I googled about why their cords are so crappy and found a thread on reddit with tons of people complaining. Apparently it's because the designers at apple thing cord reinforcement is not aesthetically pleasing. Sucks, I love their products, just wish their cords lasted longer. https://www.thrillist.com/tech/nation/why-apple-hasnt-fixed-its-crappy-charging-cables https://www.thrillist.com/tech/nation/why-apple-hasnt-fixed-...
