>Apple cables are perfect examples of style over substance. Insufficient reinforcement for a daily use item. Poor design. They used to be fine though, it's when they changed the rubber to whatever they use today that starts to fray and fall apart. My Titanium Powerbook cable is still intact and fine even today, but every cable I've bought from around 2014 onwards has frayed. I've heard they switched to a more "eco-friendly" rubber at some point, but I don't see the value in that if I have to buy 2-3 power cables over a laptops life.
