I still have my iPhone 3GS and the original cable supplied with it. This cable is pristine, pure white, no fraying of the exterior coating, completely safe to use. If you did not see the cable ends, you would think I purchased in the last year. Number of replacement cables purchased equals ZERO. I replaced the 3GS with an iPhone 5. This phone's Lightening cable was visibly frayed within 6 months. Within a year, the interior wires' insulation cracked. I replaced the 5 cable with another cable. And another. Then stopped buying Apple cables because they are shit. I don't even want the cable provided with a new phone. Apple should offer phones without any cable and drop the price accordingly, exiting a market they clearly can't handle. The 3GS cable and the 5 cable were used in exactly the same fashion by the same persion. The 3GS cable is still going strong after, gosh, 10 years? I started to worry about Apple's commitment to manufacturing quality years ago because of what I saw with their cabling. This concern hasn't been allayed with the keyboard issues on their MBP line. I'd like to buy a new MBP (mine finally died after an 8 year run) but I am not going to until I see evidence that Apple irons out their quality issues. I just can't justify the cost premium when there are obvious problems. Edit: somehow entire missing grammatically horrible!
