That’s because Apple’s cables are designed for aesthetics first and everything else second.
Comment on Why?

I actually haven’t had a cable do this since I stopped buying apple cables. I usually will buy just whatever brand I find and they might stop working eventually, but rarely do they fray like those iPod ones used to.

Just like all apple products

But non-Apple cables are not officially supported, right? I think apple can’t guarantee that your iPhone works and charges well with an unlicensed cable. Also I don’t know if the Apple Repair Shop will accept a phone that has been charged with an unlicensed cable. But what do I know, I am an Android user

As long as they have the MFI certification they are officially supported. I’ve been using a non-MFI cable for a while now and it’s never been a problem, even with getting my battery replaced by Apple.

Oh I just stopped buying apple products altogether after I stopped using iPods. But yeah I have heard that before.

Did you know that the mfi certification cost like $10,000 and requires you to provide three prototypes to Apple that they are allowed to destroy, as well as your full schematics and the complete design of the product? Gee how do they come up with so many ideas…
You could of course try to skip that but then Apple will fence you off from access to some of their chipsets and protocols so your product will work less well than ones that capitulate.
Seriously fuck Apple

Car manufacturer can’t garuntee that the car will drive fine on a road not made by them.
What you said/quoted is a meaningless sentence that just reduces into “bad products are possible to make”

Lmao maybe if you don’t know what you’re talking about you just shouldn’t post it 🥰

I wanted to trigger some apple users, and it seems that they love me

It’s fun spreading lies?
Pretty interesting take.

The main thing that kills them is sunlight. Totally disintegrates the cover apple uses on their cables.

Better yet don’t buy apple products at all.
