Ahhhh I forgot Apple cables did that. Haven't used one in years for a reason.

Duct tape? Electrical tape? Perhaps some super glue?

I dont use the stock apple chargers for that reason. I switched to the AUVIO 6ft braided versions. I picked them and a lifetime warranty from radioshack for $25. about the same price apple chargers for the crappy 3ft versions

Why not a cable that doesn't do that after a couple of months? No reason for it to.

You're trying to argue logic and functionality with Apple's "artistic vision". Their goal is pretty garbage that needs to be replaced frequently.

There isn't any way of telling that this is actually an Apple product, the ebay replicas look the same.

 

Maybe Apple use better adhesive or something? Then again maybe it is genuine and they really are that way I digress.

Well my old macbook pro charger was very stable even though there wasn't much protection but the god damn ipod cables, all the ones i even had broke

[Mooshi]

How vain do you have to be to make an inferior cable just because it's slightly more slim?

[StingBull]

Yeah I got 3 iPhone charge cable all the same like this.

It happened to two friends and their iPod touch cables (both were the stock cable that came with their iPods), my cable is looking fairly worn out in that area as well.

It's a very common issue.

That just happened to my Nokia charging cable.

Interesting, I've had a bunch of apple charging cables and only one broke, but that was the head of the 30 pin charger, the plastic casing disintegrated. Otherwise I've never had this issue, although I know a fair few who have have.

How does one cut a cable under normal use? This is the closest I've gotten to cutting any kind of cable without any tools / intentionally doing it, ever (3,5 mm headphone jack on my 4+ years old cheapo Labtec headset):
