Iphone 5 cable intermittent charging

Hello Iphone 5 users. After some soul searching, I have found this solution to my iphone 5 cable charging issue: intermittent charging. I've just found out today that the cable I'm using, one that I bought a an authorised Apple store, is faulty at its jack/connector to the Iphone. One of the connecting points (the goldish part) is lifted, the reason why it is intermittent. So, I used an old Iphone 4 cable and insert an Iphone 5 adaptor, and it works really well. I think for convenience, simply replace with a new Iphone 5 cable. Hope this helps.

Thank you but as this is a replacement Apple-endorsed cable to the original cable that came with the phone when it was new, I think it could be wear-and-tear usage.

In fact, the original earphone or earbud was also flimsy and it broke down within a year of my Iphone purchase. I now bought one outside that's cheaper and performing well even though it's without the volume and music controls functions.

If your phone is within the warranty period, they should exchange the cable free, though always on the grounds that the fault is a manufacturing defect and not caused by ill use.
