Do you move the cables often? Do you stuff them in bags for travel? Do your phones get knocked off tables often by cats/kids?
I am guessing usage patterns will explain the difference.

- pfranz 6y agoI do all those things. From past discussions I gather the trick is using the phone while charging causes the problem. I tend not to and haven't had issues.
- Cogito 6y agoI have noticed with both lightning and macbook chargers that high current draw (and associated heat) while the cable is bent seems to be associated with the cable degrading. Not using the phone while charging negates this, as does having the cable flat on a table when using the macbook (as opposed to using and charging with the macbook on your lap, where the cable rops down immediately).
- pfranz 6y agoAh! That's the first explanation that sounds plausible (outside of the wear and tear of using it while plugged in).
