can't believe that this is still an issue. Apple Magsafe chargers are great and aestherically pleasing if you never move around and your Macbook is glued to desk all the time. But like most mobile MacBook users, I had similar problems with fraying Magsafe 2 charger cables for my rMacBook Pro from 2012 (non-USB) -- they had to be replaced almost every year, which was insane. One of them also died in flame -- which the Genius quietly replacef (for free) -- but the majority died unceremoniously due to similar fraying cable issues up until 2019. The Magsafe chargers had the lowest user ratings on Apple store website until the company decided to remove all user reviews a couple of years ago. Needlessly I really had to part away from Apple products -- the first two years were covered by Amex's extended warranty, but after that the yearly "upkeep cost" started going up -- as there were also other issues with faulty GPU and bluetooth/wifi -- and continued until a couple of years ago (largely as a backup laptop).
