That really isn't my experience. Plugs break usually because they're pulled, for example from using the device while it's plugged in to charge. I'm not talking about violent pulls from a phone falling of the desk, just the stresses, bends and twists of normal usage.
This happens eventually on all types of cables, USB, Apple branded cables, earphone cables, everything. Higher quality cables last for longer, even much longer, but not forever.
- thanatropism 7y agoBut earphone cables rotate in place. So do the thicker kind of ordinary audio cable. USB cables don't rotate in place, but you have to exert a lot more effort to twist them twice (so they plug in). Reversible cables have a lower barrier to twisting. (I'm repeating myself a little, but that's because what I had just written sounds confusing in re-reading.)
