This problem seems to be happening more with the 6th series than the
5th. Not sure why, but that's just the bad luck of the draw for me. LOL!

Hi Mary. 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.

I have not noticed this problem on the 5S, a 6s, or an iPad mini.
Just three devices, but no problems.

OK, I wonder if anyone else is having, or has had this problem.
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.
