Why iPhone Cables Break So Easily
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 тра 2021
- Most people who’ve owned an iPhone have experienced durability issues with its charging cable. Like splitting or fraying. Which can lead to the cable not working reliably. But this problem isn’t limited to the iPhone. It’s actually plagued several Apple products, from iPods to MacBooks. So why do Apple cables break so easily? Well, that’s what I’ll explain in this video.

Their attempt at being eco-friendly only resulted in more cables going to the landfill
That's why it wasn't an attempt to be more eco-friendly.
Ist was just a strategy to sell more products, as all big companies do.
@@trence yes, they aren't dumb after all. Of course they know that this would be worse for the environment, but it's better for their wallets.
@@achannelhasnoname5182 And that's - obviously - all that matters xD
Exactly
So we can buy expensive cables that break easily
And be an additional to the waste
Using "eco friendly" term as an excuse to earn more money. Genius
"All you need is money money money "
Literally companies have been doing this for 20-30 years? Never heard of green washing?
Apple even does that while actively actually making it worse
Ex: removal of chargers
@@musteycraft Just be more careful
It's called "green washing".

How does making customers throw out hundreds of "environmentally friendly" cables instead of just 1 "toxic" one in the same period of time help the environment?
Amen!

He used to. Only in the most recent videos he stopped and went straight to the point.
How eco friendly can these cables be if they’re being discarded and made much more frequently?
Genuinely curious.
They are eco friendly on paper. That's all they needed, reality was obviously of lesser priority.
Apple: Makes shit cables
Apple fans: Aaaaaah yes, its all part of their plan
100% agree
With the newer iPhones and other products, they included braided cabbles to try and make them more durable
This guy literally knows what I’m thinking
Lol

He’s out of vid ideas lol

@@sambritt8967 but this is a video with an idea so...I’ll take it as it is
One more thing. To be more eco friendly, we're not going to include cables inside the iPhone box
And make you buy a cable that has its own packaging 🤣
Also, we’ve decided to not include the iPhone.
@@thataakarsh790 Introducing... iBox. The most advanced box with a sleek design that you can have for just $299. You can buy iBox to put inside the new iPhone 13 that won't be shipped because of our environmental commitment to emit 0 Carbon Emissions!
And in France is law went you buy a phone will be have a cable and is why in French all the iPhone 12 they comming with a white ugly box
And then samsung will follow too
In Australia, you can take these into Apple and get a replacement of the same length under manufacturer’s warranty, as protected by law. As long as the insulation on the internal wires is intact, and/or there’s no damage to the plastic connector housing (indicating damage from tampering or impact etc), this “defect” in the product means they need to replace it. Funny enough, this also applied/ possibly still applies to the old MagSafe power cables for pre 2016 MacBooks. You know, the ones permanently connected to the expensive power brick. I replaced 2 MacBook Air power supplies under those conditions.
This channel is so good. I always expect clickbait with no real explanation but the explanations from this channels are always concise.
At this point, the answer to every single apple design problem is “It’s Apple”

Or maybe not.
“Why iPhone’s cable breaks so easily?”
Easy! So you can buy a new one for $19. You’re welcome.
Nah buy another phone, imagine replacing a cable
That’s the answer to why Apple hasn’t made them stronger, not why they break so easily
The materials being friendlier to the environment excuse is fishy. Creating more e waste is the opposite of reducing pollution.
Buy an 6, 10 ft Anker cable with stronger material for $20

Why do iPhone cables break so easily?
"I like money." - Apple
No it’s “I want to steal all your money on something that won’t work” - Apple
“Hello, I like money.”
What inspired you to make a new cable that is less durable than the original?
“Money!”
Apple back in the 90s:
Offer more and cheaper than the competition
That hasn't aged well.
@@EbolaGW well it they kinda still do that because other companies are starting to do what Apple is doing
“Trillions of dollars isn’t enough.”
-Apple
Actual answer: So they can get more money from their customers.
There's nothing "eco-friendly" if you make a product useless in a few months just to sell more "eco-friendly" products that will also fail.
i think its more about the fact that pvc lasts forever and is impossible to degrade in the environment, whereas these rubberised ones probably dissolve in acid and so probably wont survive much weathering tbh. weaker plastics are usually less terrible for the environment in terms of chemical resistance based on monomeric composition.
My OnePlus came with a red cable that is so thick it's so durable so much for apple being environmentally friendly lol
@@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076 I too have some one plus cables and yeah, they definitely feel and are high quality, plus they look good. Who knew, durable products are actually more eco-friendly.
@@jonathanodude6660 now imagine that: you can use one not-so-ecofriendly cable for more than a decade instead of producing waste in form of dozens of "eco-friendly" dead cables
Yup
Thanks for explaining why I can't charge my iPhone. I just want to know if there is an after market cable that won't break so easily.
When he said I am Greg, I was like Bubby.
When you complain, Apple insists their cables are “durable”. 🙄
Their definition of "durable" is low compared to android lmfao
Apple: Get used to it
They insist they never heard of this problem, and I am the first to return the cable! So if they are durable, why are you agreeing to easily replace the cables without any questions?
Mine is
@@mus_xr4653 Mine too. From my iPhone 3GS. LOL.
All the later ones are already trash. The one that came with the 12 Pro Max is on its way too.

Great information!
Really appreciate it!

@@chrisjfox8715 they r really thin o think that's y
Last year I switched to android and the cable was extremely thick but maybe that was BC it was 30 watts nevertheless they r too thin
@@superior7387 like this video explains, it's not just the thickness it's that the strain relief design isn't ribbed (which cable design 101 tells them not too, but they prefer the aesthetic of smooth) and that the discontinued using pvc for environmental reasons. The fact that they can charge people for replacements is rather convenient bonus.
The thickness would be sufficient if the housing was ribbed.
@@chrisjfox8715mine is not ribbed either but it's thick so more durable

Hello Matthew!
Hehehe
No clickbait here just the truth
I remember when my old iPhone chargers always did this, however I have had my current lightning one for over 3 years now with daily use and it is still not punctured yet.
Ive had many apple cables and never had a problem. U guys are just savage
iPhone cables breaks so easily because Apple wants to make more money by selling cables for $49.99 only 😂
It's literally just planned obsolescence, I don't know why you're justifying that with "design choices".
He literally said facts but pop of ig
@@Fabiocek ?
Design choices have plagued Apple products like the butterfly keyboard in the MacBooks but I see your point, although planned obsolescence is far common with Apple alongside other companies.
This was very informative. Liked.
I have this phone for about 1 year now. (it’s an iPhone 8 Plus, moved from Android to Apple 2 years ago)
I have changed at least 7-8 cables. But they weren’t looking broken on the outside, they just wouldn’t charge my phone anymore. I finally found one that lasted me for more than 3 months. It is a Baesus black fabric cable which I bought in June and still lasted me to this day. But I have had encounters with some other fabric cables in the past. Almost all the fabric cables I’ve had in the past broke immediately after 1 single day of use, which is such a shame considering they had very beautiful colors. Honestly, I would only recommend fabric cables like the one showed in this video and even fabric cables outside of Apple but only black or white. Again, other fabric cables I have encountered in the past were coloured in pink, green, blue, all kinds of different colors, thinking that I would eventually find a colorful one that works.
Man, you’re doing the best you can. This has been my question ever since I bought the 1st iPhone(it’s cable was much better), and till now I’m using iPhone 12 Pro but I have noticed that their cable quality hasn’t changed. But, I have also noticed that when you buy another cable for you device it feels very nice, idk why. Another thing, their inner cables are too strong, the rubber covering may entirely come off but the cable will still work.
Cause the plastic of the cable with the sun hardnen and you will feel that
As I have cats I use braided ones they are much better.
Its okay, just keep consuming our products. -Apple
You'll feel better when you do -Apple
Its perfectly okay to buy our product on an absurd regular basis, dont worry about the plastic waste - we promise to recycle 99% of ¼ of the cable. -Apple

Apple users be like: "yes the cables are too fragile, but at least they're going to fix it ~10 years after the Lightning cable's release!"
Bro literally Android chargers in the past have been just as bad if not worse than apples. So idk what you're talking about
@@saucewrld9995 Really? I've never seen any frayed USB C cables except for the ones made by Apple.
@@saucewrld9995 Yeah, no, not even close, and nice try. I still have my OG out of the box Galaxy S8 cable and it still works to this day, no breaking no fraying. Lmao I think I even have my OG Nexus 6P cable somewhere. Even if out of the box cables were just as bad on Android, you can get high quality woven fabric replacements for cheap unlike with Apple cables where you literally pay an Apple Tax for the privilege of buying an Apple cable. $20+ for one Apple cable vs $14 for a 5 pack of woven fabric USB-C to USB-C cables for my Android phone, hmmmmmmmm.
I still use a charger included in a cheap acer table like 7 years ago but I ruined the cable in two years becuase i stored it as noodle. My sister wich had an iphone 5s those times, had to change the cable 3 times while she took care of it a lot.
The same about the chargers when I got some xiaomis, since the redmi 3 generation, I end up ruining those because I barely take care of them, i pull the cable if they're stuck in my backack and like that, but it lasts me at least twice that some family members that had/haves iphone but they even store the charger in a separate compartment
.
I have had my
iPhone cable for 5 years and have had no issues 😂
I've rarely had issue with the cables, recently I thought I had a cable issue with my iPhone 11 but it turned out to be dust and stuff inside the Lightning port, clean it out with a plastic toothpick (never use metal) and it works perfectly again. As for cables I now use the one that came with my iMac to charge my iPhone and AirPods along with the KB and trackpad.
Weird how they tried making something more eco friendly but its probably lead to more cables ending up in landfill!
I really hope they start selling all their cables as braided ones, weird I have one for the power on my iMac, one cable that for most users only get unplugged when the iMac is moved, so almost never.
Well explained. I wondered why I never noticed this problem until after 2006.
I put the heat shrink wrap things on the ends of all of my cables. Have had this one for about 3 years and still works like a charm
When I’ve done that, it only relocated the damage site.
So you use PVC based plastic nullifying the efforts apple makes while apple increases ewaste by making shit that breaks very fast.
You should replace your charger every 2 years to be honest.
@@Cyril29a Would it be blasphemy to talk about the well over decade history of expensive or completely unrepairable damage due to poor thermal design? Blame Intel as much as you like for their contribution to that problem, but at the end of the day, it’s Apple’s commitment to thin, sleek and shiny that is the major factor.
Just ask Louis Rossman.
@@byzaha1238 it’s not the charger at fault, and the cable is a separate part.
Just simply bad design, period.
What kind of "enviromental effort to reduce waste", makes even more waste in form of broken cables?
at least they can be recycled?
@@thebravegallade731 I don't know. But even if it is recyclable, for something the rule is Reduce Reuse and Recycle. Not the other way around. And this kind of shit policy of apple, breaks totally the first 2 rules.

Me after this video: to make more money
I still got my original cable and wired headphones from my iPhone 6s Plus bought back in 2016, and it still works. Bottomline is, its how you handle and keep your stuff well.
I’m a perfectionist in most ways, so I always make sure my charger isn’t being pulled, yanked in one direction too much because i know how fragile they are lol
Has nothing to do with pulling on it. It’s all about the strain put on it when it’s bent from side to side

@@ZED-PV nah bro I’ve been OCD Since day 1 lol
@@dstein111 exactly. Bothers the F out of me when people pull it so far left to right lol just because of how fragile they are
Also don't twist it because it will strain the cable even more.
I’ve been using Apple products for the last 10 years now, and I successfully destroyed hundreds of cables. But one year ago I bought 2 m. cotton sleeved lightning cable and it is in perfect condition to this day. It was $30.
I’ve been using iPhones since 2014 and never had a cable break apart like in the video
What materials are the iPhone-lightning cables now built up of? I tried to find the answer online, but it was difficult to find.. I am writing an assignment that addresses this topic and trying to find out the material-build-up when they used PVC and the cables they sell today.
i’ve had mine for years still and have more as backup i think y’all just need to take more care of them 😩
Mad respect for getting straight to the point ✊ much respect brother
For anyone tired of buying new cables constantly, I recommend you try an Anker PowerLine III cable. I've had mine for probably more than a year now and it still works like new. And I'm not being paid to say this.
Mine wore out after 2 months so I guess you are lucky
How much are they paying you huh?
@@norapper6182 About zero dollars and zero cents USD

@@queenoffaygo I guess you are unlucky. I bought two of them and both are like completely new working well.
thanks, I really enjoy it
Plot twist:iPhone 2023 comes with no iPhone in the box to be even more eco friendly
The cable for my 9 year old Samsung tablet is still in reasonably good condition, even though it has a smooth stress relief bit (it has come loose and can now freely slide along the cable, but the cable underneath isn't frayed). It's a good thing that the cable still works, because that tablet, like all Samsungs of its time, has a proprietary 30 pin port that looks just like the Apple variant unless you look really closely.
One simple reason: money.
all these connector designs are designed and owned by apple, and even if you replace the cable with an aftermarket, more durable one, apple STILL makes money from it because the connector was licensed.
Edit: Wait, that explains why iPhones took so long to finally get wireless charging. Because while you can indeed make a proprietary connector for a cable, what're you going to do with wireless charging? they're cross compatible. So, even after the backlash they didn't introduce wireless charging for a long time because they basically would not make any money from it.
They only gave it to us in the iPhone X, because wireless charging had become more and more common and a point had been reached where consumers could consider other options with wireless charging.
But hey, Apple is Apple afterall, and they yet again found way to make money off of it by introducing the magnetic Magsafe wireless charger; which I do admit, it is cool. Personally, I'd simply prefer a regular one though, just a personal preference.
They also found other ways to make money off of Magsafe, with the accessories. I haven't seen, or used them personally, but I kinda felt it was dumb. Like there was this magsafe wallet, what would happen if it fell off? Then there's the Magsafe phone cases , because boo effing hoo, my Magsafe accessories wouldn't work as the magnet would be weakened. Anyways, they're making money from it just like they did with the lighting cables; licensing.
Apple isn't a 2 trillion dollar company for nothing. Cheers.
True. Oh and I can really recommend the IKEA LILLHULT ones. Best USB charging cables I had, yet. Anker "rubber" cables, Anker "textile" cables, all kinds of manufacturers' cables, but the IKEA ones beat them all. Flexible, light, neat self-storage rubber band sewed onto it, textile, cheap. Perfect. I have the USB-A USB-C version, the USB-A Lightning version and the USB-C Lightning version (yes, USB-PD / quick charging works).
@@DerKatzeSonne I see, thanks! because now I was planning on picking up a longer type C cable for my Samsung; the one in the box tends to fall short. for example, whenever I use my phone in bed, or at my desk, etc.
Yes, IKEA does have stores in my country, but I'll have to check if the cable is available. Anyways, thanks again for the recommendation
Bro Greg, u have alibi for each and every user grievances related to iPhone accessories and the phone itself. 😁😀
The metal contact teeth on the Lighting cable end also tend to wear out and stop charging. Just threw out away several cables with this problem.
How funny, my cable just broke last night for the very first time, and then this pops up..

I agree but it’s also upto user habits because I never broke my original lightning cable even with daily usage.
hey, actually the fabric cables are available in the magic accessories too as of recently, I got some with my Magic Mouse and magic keyboard Touch ID :)
I feel very lucky, I’ve never broken one single cable in more than 7 years while owning iPhone/iPad/MacBook
Me neither, I don't even bother unboxing the original cables anymore because they won't last as long as the phone. I just re-sell the phone with the original box, stickers and cable.
Finely, was waiting for a proper answer.
Good for you!

Thank you for highlighting an issue that has been around for years, hope Apple is able to make the change to make better cables to be used.
I’ve never understood this complaint - maybe a few years in audiovisual territory and cable management helped but I just don’t break cables the way others do. When finished with them I roll them and twist them around themselves a bit and the ends never fray, break or crack. I’m lucky or others are just rough…
Im gonna be honest, I didnt even know it was such a huge issue until i watched this video. Ive been using the same charger and cable since the iPhone 5s. Only replaced it recently when i bought the 12 because i wanted faster charging, but im still using it on the job site, and let me tell you, they dont have an easy life in my toolbag. My 2015 MacBook powerbrick is still in decent shape, even thought i sometimes roll over the cable with a chair.. Just how do you brake it so often for it to be such a big issue?

I keep my original cables and chargers in the box for when I eventually sell off my older models. But back when I was using the OEM cables, I’d replace them one by one with third party woven fabric cables rather than another flimsy OEM cable.

MicroUSB is the worst, USB C is Ok
@@NineEyeRon it’s trash. When I plug in my controller to play descenders or some game that requires a controller, EVERY SINGLE time I unplug it and plug it back in, it gets bent. My pc doesn’t have Bluetooth. I am thinking about buying a Bluetooth dongle.
Is this really a thing? I never had any issues with cables.
Same here, have never needed to buy an additional cable ever for an apple product, I have them all in a drawer still
Same
Yes where have you been for the past 10 years? There have been tons of memes made about iPhones iPods and iPad cables breaking
I’ve gone through like 10 already this year, no joke
When I got my iPhone 5 (the first one that used Lightninc), i went through 15-20 Lightning cables within a year. They've gotten better, though.
idk how but my beats pill+ charger bought 7 years ago still looks brand new and yes, i use it pretty much throw it around and use my phone while charging
I love my fabric cables, get a 10ft 5 pack for 10 bucks on Amazon
I’ve never had a broken one in over ten years of owning Apple products 🤷♂️
liar
@@benhuriet000000 Liar⁴²⁰⁶⁹ to be precise
@@benhuriet000000 Just unplug a cable correctly dude and you'll never have issues... if you pull the cable by holding the cable itself - not the hard plastic part at the end - it's no wonder that cables break easier.
@Rudy Rodriguez Exactly
I've been using mine for 5 years and thankfully it's still nice
Wouldn't it work just by adding little bit thicker (still eco whatever) layer at the end of a cable?
You just forgot to mention the most important reason: It forces you to buy a new charger.
If u break a cable u don’t need a new charger
The reason: *Money*
Apple gets money from the licensing of their Lightning cable so ofc they wouldn’t mind it breaking
why are y’all so pessimistic? not everything is about money
@@zyonthelickman haha with Apple it is 😂
Hmm yes, microsoft and amazon pay their bills with hugs …lol
its the material they use. The old material they used didnt fray.
Thats why they are not switching to USB C.
I only ever had one apple lightning and 30 pin cable do this to me. In the full life span of my iPad 2nd gen and iPhone 4S, only one of the cables finally gave up after using it for 5 whole years, but before then I had replaced my ipad 2 with the Air 2, so I still had two 30pin cables just to use with my iphone, till I got a sorta used iphone 7 (and also replacement ipad 5th gen)
So only two cables out of 5 that are broken
Using iPhones since the 3g, never had a cable break on me.
Ive had a handful but they had hard life, lightning always outlive MicroUSB in our house, both cables and ports.
@@NineEyeRon Yeah micro USB is shit as well. The only difference is that micro usb hasn't been used in new devices for 5 years, which isn't the case with apple's much more expensive cables.
Im using a lightning cable from my iPad Air 2 i got in 2014, with my iPhone XR and it still almost after a decade works great.
