Iphone 5 charger keeps on breaking.

Over the past five months, I have purchased over five different charger cables for my iphone 5 which i bought new in December. For some reason, after months, weeks or even days, he latest charger stops working. Sometimes the phone is plugged in and it doesn't respond at all to the cable, other times, the cable only functions when in a certain position. I am so angry at this as I'm spending and will continue to spend a lot of money to charge my phone. Am I doing something wrong? (This was never an issue with my iphone 3 and the cable even worked when the connector head seemed half broken off). What should I do? And also, is anyone else having this issue, because if not, then it must be an issue with my actual phone, no?

Thanks

iPhone 5

yes it does, depending on the type of connector that goes into your phone, whether its one piece or 3 pieces of metal

No, charging speed is not affected by the connector, whether it is one or three pieces of metal.

The chargers are made very cheap and should be made to last longer! We should not be charged so much for the cheap quality! Also the iPhone is way to much highly rated, androids are a lot better and llast longer without the problem

Properly taken care of, your cables and adapters should last years. The only one I ever had a problem with was the one that kept getting slammed in a desk drawer. It only lasted a couple of years.

The feels!!!

The same thing always happens to me; I buy a charger and the 2-3 months, it stops working. You are not alone. I just get a new one every time and throw the previous one away.
