Why do the iphone chargers stop working after a month of use I'm so tired of buying chargers for supposedly the best products "APPLE" I'm getting really disturbed by it and ready to stop buying apple products
iPhone 5
If you are purchasing genuine Apple cables ,they come ,as an accessory ,with 12 months warranty
I have had iPhone and iPad chargers for years and none have failed, so your experience is at least not universal.
But as Peter said, the charger that came with the iPhone is covered under the same warranty as your iPhone, so there should be no reason why you should be buying new ones unless your iPhone is now out of warranty. Even then, any charger or other Apple accessory you buy carries a one-year warranty, so Apple would cover any failure unless it was determined that the failure was due to abuse. If you have purchased a new charger and it is failing after only a month, talk to Apple.

I'm not trying to start a fight, but perhaps it is how you are using them? They are somewhat delicate, but if inserted and removed properly, and not overly stressed when in use, they last. I have several that are over a year old with no problems, and I remove them daily.
Most failures are caused by either pulling the lightning cable by the cable instead of the connector, or strain (force) at the cable terminator. If your cables are failing that often, it may be you need to rethink when and how to use them.
**As a point of clarification: Are you speaking of the lightning cable? or the charging block that plugs into the wall?**

I have three ppl in my home using apple products and I've been buying chargers from
Best buy, all 3 seem to not work after a month at the same time . Btw us 3 all we do is leave them plugged into the wall and charge b4 bed majority of the time ( I don't see how you can abuse a charger anyhow) :/ I was unaware you can return them but how do u go about doing so w/o a reciept or originally packaging .. I don't think best but will take my word if I just walk inside with 6 broken chargers hmmm.. Does apple have a site that I can go on and put on a claim
You may want to investigate the possibility of power fluctuations in your home causing problems. I've never had one cook like that.
Without a receipt, you can't take them back. Apple would require proof of purchase to show that they're still under warranty, and Best Buy won't take anything back for any reason without a receipt. This is why you always want to keep your receipts for any item that carries a warranty.
As to how you can abuse a charger, yanking cables out, jamming them in, or pulling on the cables so as to damage the socket are a few ways. But as Tim suggested, if they're all failing at the same time, power problems are a strong possibility.

Why do the apple chargers for iPhones only last a month ... I'm tired of buying chargers for three apple products in my home
