This is why you should buy nice cables user

With as many apple users as there are, someone who makes a charger designed around the durability of that segment of the cord will make a shitload of money and be able to tell apple to go fuck themselves at the same time.

...the official Apple cable that comes with a $1000 phone is not a nice one?

>propriety hardware has obsolescence
imagine my shock

>Don't call it a bug its a feature
I think it really is. Some people get a high off of buying shit. Apple forces you to keep buying shit which fulfills you with a sense of accomplishment because you've gained something.
This causes people to love buying apple regardless of it's glaring flaws. It rather ingenius

Watch out for those cheap cables m8. Just the other year almost all of them didn't give a shit about USB-C specs so their USB-A to USB-C cables would burn out USB ports because they were drawing the full USB-C current capacity even when plugged into low/normal current USB-A ports (PCs, laptop, hubs, really anything not a charger)

Where’d you hear that? As someone who’s tech illiterate, I’d like to read more about it.

My girlfriend has gone through a ton of iPhone charging cables and when I accused her of treating her cables like shit she smugly replied with, "nuh-uh, it's supposed to do that, they make them like this so that the cable breaks instead of damaging your charging port."

>they make them like this so that the cable breaks instead of damaging your charging port
Grace god! Did someone really believe this?

>nuh-uh, it's supposed to do that
She's correct but got the reason wrong. They make them like that so they can sell more cables.

Funny thing is my iPod's port broke before the Lightning connector did, now I've got a $300 paperweight.

I always see people's iPhone cables break after a couple months of use
Are they that fragile? I have yet to break the cable my phone came with years ago

Any cable that isn't C end to end isn't compliant to begin with.

>Any cable that isn't C end to end isn't compliant to begin with.
What a shitty standard

If I remember correctly, Anker recalled the offending cables (and it's okay for me since it didn't affect Lightning cables). It was still pretty poor to put out a product like that without proper testing, but at least they didn't just throw their hands up and leave their customers in the lurch.

I shouldn't have to replace it after less than a year.

Oh, you wanna borrow my charger? Here you go bro!

i always carry a couple heat shrink tubes and a lighter in case i ever come across a cable like this from one of my mates, i like being helpful

If it works, it isn't stupid.

this, am on the 4th cable now, and i only use my macbook maybe once a month, it just sits under the bed. the official wallwort also stopped working after a couple years.

Lightning cables are so cheap that it doesn’t matter. It’s trivial to buy replacements.

Those FUCKING MagSafe chargers, though. I’d kill for a reliable version of one.

holy shit user don't date normies
there are better fish in the sea

Got chink cable for 1/10 the price for GF, it's of higher quality than apple one, work nice.

Then comes ios update and it blacklists perfectly working cable and phones refuses to charge with it.

Fuck apple.

>heat shrink tubes

How do you get it over connector?

How do you blacklist a cable? The connectors are just metal, how can the phone tell? By charging rate?

It's oily dirty hands that do that.

Keep you iphone(R) cable clean and this won't happen.

It's still a fact that cable is deliberately designed this way.

Lightning cables have ICs in them.

>applel's fragile trash cables come with a botnet id chip inside identifying them as applel cables
the state of icucks

They aint just cables my dude.
You wern't around for the backlash over this?
Normies couldn't care less. but there was some buttmad on Jow Forums

>Lightning cables have ICs in them.
No wonder the cables are so expensive. Applefags pay extra just so they can 'prove' to their phone they bought the cable from Apple.
>this is normal and no one is up in arms about it

>have a problem with low quality third party cables (I'm not saying first party cables are good)
>require cables to have an IC that says Apple approved of the manufacture of the cable
>get shat on for preventing more low quality third party cables

I don't own any Apple products, save for a 2005 Apple iPod 'Classic', so I don't follow what's happening in the world of Apple.

you forgot
>Forego industry standards and implement the same result in a proprietary way
sane choice.

apple preventing unauthorized third party cables has been a thing before lightning

official first party cables or third party authorized cables could trigger a warning message because my ipod touch 3rd gen had a loose sync cable connector

>>Forego industry standards and implement the same result in a proprietary way
In other words, no change from what they'd already been doing for over a decade. Only difference is Lightning is shittier than micro USB.

The irony is that now they use TypeC for all macbooks.

Chinks will spoof DRM chip in cable but apple constantly updates their blacklist and you're fucked with next ios update.

I've also seen aftermarket cables fucked up by apple just by plugging those into PC, they somehow get insta-blacklisted and render cable unusable with that phone.

One of many reasons modern MacBooks are shit

you don't have to if you don't treat it like shit

Most nerd girls are ugly, though. If you want at least 7/10 girl, you have to settle with a normie.

My fingers do not have good grips when when clean which is 99% of the time since i'm a clean freak, also being a 150 IQ guy i supposed apple product is designed for dumb people ? I stopped using apply product since they do that. Have i mentioned i have 150 IQ ?

This

how do people do this, back when i had an iphone 6 i used the same cable for 2 years, just don't yank the damn shit out of the port like a caveman

My dad and I use micro USB, my mom and sister use Lightning. I don't know about my dad, but I've been using the same two micro USB cables for two or three years, if not more. Meanwhile my mom and sister have collectively gone through 10+ Lightning cables in the last year. My dad, the supplier, is dumbfounded, and I've just been laughing in the background as I continue to use the same cables. Even with caveman treatment cables shouldn't go this fast.

i have all microusb type b cables but on some of them i use a spring from old pens and it works flawlessly, I have tons of cables but I use the same ones for years (samsung cables are quite good)

Don't buy ones with plastic cover. Buy ones with nylon cover.

I'm still using the original cable that came with my SE two years later, though it's been plugged into my nightstand charger that entire time

>practically every cable at work because nobody like reliefs apparently

Ever considered domestic violence?

Attached: 1495899494661.jpg (330x395, 20K)

to be fair when I had a solstice I never had to replace the cable in the 8 years of owning it and when I got a sIII in high school I went through 3 chargers in 2 years

I've never broken a charging cable, but I've lent them out to people that somehow break them.
