Really odd. I had one of mine for four years through college, which meant constant plugging in/unplugging in classes, at the library, at the dorm/my apartment.

Other than being off-white from dirt/dust and whatever, that charger lasted all that time.
- rukuu001 10y agoMy 2010 MBP did 18 months backpacking (2014/15) and hasn't missed a beat. It's had constant use otherwise. I can only assume some of got lucky with indestructible chargers.
- lucaspiller 10y agoI've been an Apple-laptop user for 10 years, and a month or two ago my charging cable started fraying. It's less than two years old, and hasn't been used anymore than I have previous ones (if anything it's probably been abused less). I'd assume it's just Apple reducing quality and raising prices (€85 for a replacement?!?) - Lightning cables are notorious for the same issue.
- rukuu001 10y agoYeah, it's breaking my heart that my next laptop probably isn't going to be an Apple. With specs and quality going downhill and prices going up it just doesn't make sense for me any more.
