why does my iPhone 5 charger keep breaking?

Why are you buying ,the genuine Apple charger shipped with the iPhone 5 is covered by the same 12 month warranty as the iPhone 5

Have you ever thinked about use wireless charger or rechargeable external battery pack? I am thinking about buying one. They are very convenient to use.

Cheap cables from China will quickly fail if you pull them out via the cable. You MUST pull them out of the phone or USB port via the plug, and via the plug ONLY.

My kids broke 2 cables before we figured this out. A well-made cable has a very strong, braided "strength" nylon fiber inside, so that tugging on the cable pulls the nylon fiber, NOT the electrical contacts, which are very prone to breaking when they take all the stress of the pull. Cheap cables from China have no strength fiber inside! And, the new lightning cable requires a high degree of fierce force to remove it from the iPhone.

Cheap cables from China will quickly fail but some expensive cables are of high quality. They are useful and durable. Now I use wireless charger for my Samsung Galaxy S3. The quality is quite well. Very easy to use. I just need to stick the receiver on the battery and then put my cellphone on the charging pad.

i hate that..i learned with the macbook pro & the macbook air, all of the chargers are really fragile. If you bend them, overtime it will become brittle and just break. (i had an iPhone charger turn green on me...along with 3 other broken iPhone 5 chargers!!) I had to replace my old macbook pro's charger as well because it broke after a year and it was really expensive to buy a replacement! 😠

I got the light pink one and it hasn't broken on me, nor is does it even look like it'll break. hope this helps & good luck to you! 🙂

I had my iphone5 on my 10th may I've already had 3chargers. It's not because I don't use them properly I don't leave them over night and I don't twist the wire, I leave it alone to charger and when I go back it suddenlys stops working. Does this mean there is a fault with the phone, will apple be able to sort this problem out?
