Just stop being poor and take $50 and buy a pack of iPhone cords, USB cords, etc. so you can just grab a backup cord instead of wasting your time.


When did I ever say I didn't have a backup cord?

I'd think it's reasonable to wrap up a cord around your hand daily then put it in your bag and repeat.

Hey, at least I'm not the retard who claims to have "tried them all" and keeps breaking these products several times a year, yet still doesn't think "Hey, maybe it's something I'm doing...?"

No, it's the entire tech industry that's to blame!

Maybe it's not how you wrap the cords up then? I don't know your habits, but it seems odd that you have tried every cord and run into this problem, yet other people have no problem at all with this?

Think about it, man. Maybe it's something you're doing.

Apparently this thread is started every few months...

To be fair, I don't have this issue with the cord that just sits plugged into my kitchen counter. But they do die after a few years...I get that.

Reading comprehension isn't your friend, is it?

I'm looking for a charger that's durable enough to allow me to wrap it up daily and not die after a few months of usage. I've purchased from different retail outlets, brands, etc. I said the "tried them all" in reference to those places.

Bacon actually recommended a specific brand/model that I haven't tried.

Yeah...I'm blaming software developers for the poor reliability of iPhone cables made in China.

And you say I have poor reading comprehension... I never said you were the only one with this problem, just that other people don't have it...

When this thread pops up every 3 months it's the same debate: why do some people need new cords all the time and can't seem to figure out why, while others have no idea why someone would think there's even a problem?

Some may speculate there's a mysterious force in the universe that guides all of the good cables to some people and all of the bad ones to others, but I just think it might have something to do with people's own expectations on what are acceptable and unacceptable ways to treat their electronics.

I don't mean to say this to insult you personally, really. But I have enough IT support experience to know when people repeatedly need replacements or repairs of their stuff, it's usually because they treat it differently than other users do.

I have never had a charger go out on me. I have had chargers where the sleeve broke up and had wires exposed.

My phone charger is constantly being used. I have put it in between things in my bag, pulled out carelessly, etc.. And never had problems.
