Well, my mom got me one which she's bringing home to me, it sounds kind of weird/interesting. She further said that it states directly on the packaging that it is fully Apple certified, so yeah... apparently, this one has blue L E D lights within the cord itself. I was like... wuh? OK, can I hear you say hippy cord? LOL! --- Christopher Gilland JAWS Certified, 2016. Training Instructor.

Me too. I haven't had this problem at all with my iPhone 5s and I've had it for almost 2 years now. My lightning cable works great for charging the phone and the end of the court has never broken.

Over the years, I've bought quite a few devices that use lightning cables. Anything from my old IPhone 5, 5S, 6Plus, 6S, a few Apple TV 4's, etc. Point is, after about 2 or 3, if I'm lucky, months roughly, it seems like the end of the insolation right where the lightning connector is that goes into the device, that area seems to keep getting cut/torn. Usually it's not so bad that the cable stops working, but it's bad enough that it definitely has the potential that at any moment, it could get worse. I have one cable now which is almost 98% sebbered all the way through both the insolation and the actual wire itself. It's pretty pathetic. It seems like most all my cables eventually are getting to this point, and I swear, I'm not misusing them. I'm just plugging them in, and unplugging them as normal. Apparently, I'm by far not the first person who's had this issue. If you just Google online, you'll find lots of forums and blogs, etc. of people who've had the same issue quite regularly. So apparently, it must not be just me. Is it just these things are really badly designed? I'm on hold right now waiting for Apple to pick up to see if maybe they can replace a few of these chords, but I'm not very hopeful. They might, but I'm not counting on it. I'm just wonderring if any of you guys have also found your cables tearing, getting cut, or worse on a consistent basis right at the tip of the cord like I am. If so, what are you all doing to get around this, so you don't have to keep buying cord after cord after cord every few months. This alone is starting to make me reconsider iOS devices. At least, ones with lightning connecters. Lightning's great, but the cords appear to be crap in my opinion based soly on what I so far have observed. Again, that's stated as an opinion, not a fact. Keep that in mind. Chris. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
