It's weird that this much quality went into the guts, but they couldn't make the cable on it a little more sturdy. I use mine sparingly, but it feels like it's going to break if I look at it the wrong way, and I've read that some people have to replace it every couple months.
- d-sc 8y agoI understand where you are coming from. I have a couple of these of my own. Apple probably doesn’t want to make these stronger than the things the connect to: eg headphones or the phone. Within certain load profiles the weakest component will suffer most of the wear. Would you rather the connector broke on the $9 adapter or the $1500 phone?
- Dylan16807 8y agoIt's not the connector that breaks. Making the actual cable thicker shouldn't cause anything else to fail first, and the nature of a short piece of cable connected directly to a phone is to get horribly bent all the time; it needs thickness.
