Fragile charging cable

Hi,

Here is what I do. When finished charging, line up your forefinger, middle finger, and the one next to that (called medicine finger in Japanese) and wind the cable around them carefully so it is free of kinks. You end up with a nice elliptical shape which you can place in a small plastic case or ziplock. Voila!🙂

The first cable I had is kinky but since then they are all in good condition.

Regards.

I'm sure I'm not telling you anything absolutely new ... but these cables are fine if they are not trailed over the floor so they are kicked and trodden on and then pulled out of the machine by the cable itself.

The correct way to remove them when charging is finished is to tip the metal contact upwards, so breaking the magnetic contact, then store the cable or disconnect it as meets your needs. I have two cables with two machines and neither shows any signs like you have described.

I think Apple community should suggest the company to reconsider its design .

You are one of the community, so here is where to do it. Product Feedback - Apple

only cable I ever had break on me is the iphone5c which my wife used and disconnected by pulling the cable rather then the connector

I still have the cable that came with my 2007 iPod touch 16GB and it works

Good point about weather conditions. The cable should not fray away from the connection points. But if they are near, my points are valid. And yes, you should use feedback. Thank you for the star.

You are very welcome!

Mawanella looks nice. 🙂

Just picking up on your reply above. Are you sure you have always connected and disconnected the cable as I set out? I'm not sure that you have.
