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.
