Yeah, I think the main issue is pulling on the cable. I have literally never had a cable break in the 8+ years I've used iPhones but I've had a few break within 3-6 months of my wife taking them over. I'm pretty anal with how I remove my cables but I will also say that after so long with basically the same cable materials (at least since 30 pin connector), it's an obvious design flaw which should have been addressed somehow.
