I think you may be an outlier in owning only one lightning cable. I just looked in my desk drawer and counted 5, and I can think of 3 more in other areas of my house and car.
- alistairSH 6y agoI own more than 1, but they all get used regularly. There's one on my nightstand, one in my car, and one in the office. I can swap them around, but that doesn't solve the problem - at the time I'm ready to buy a new phone, one of them is worn out.
- Schiendelman 6y agoHave you considered wireless charging? It seems like you’d save money over buying more cables, in the long run.
- alistairSH 6y agoMaybe, but wireless is new (my iPhone 7 doesn't have it), so it hasn't come up before now. But, that just means I have to buy 2 new wall warts (need the high power one, IIRC), still need 1 new cable (unless it's included with he wireless pad), and 2 wireless pads. And it's not an option in the car, because CarPlay requires a cable (in 90% of cars, AFAIK only BMW has implemented wireless CarPlay).
- dexterdog 6y agoI have 5 in my drawer and I don't even have an iPhone.
- ceejayoz 6y agoMy kids fidget absentmindedly with the charger cords while they use their phones, so at this point we buy them in packs of ten off Amazon.
