Is the pig black with a white leg or white with a black leg?

More importantly, is her bikini top black with white lines or white with black lines?

It's gold and white I can't believe you see black and blue.

Black cables matter:

I don't know but I'm jealous of that top. :awe:

Black cables matter:

Counterfeit product for sure.
Genuine Apple products are incapable of experiencing strain, and thus require no relief.

Black cables matter:

This is what happens when you yank them out by the cord. Even the big strain reliefs won't last long with that kind of treatment.

So remember, yanking on a big thick black cord will wear it out just as assuredly as yanking on your skinny white cord.

No. All Apple cords will do this eventually unless you leave it hermetically sealed and never use it.

First of all: they do have strain relief. It's the little bit of extra sleeving you see at the end. That's never been the problem. The difference is that they have an extremely pliable rubber jacket that is made deliberately loose. You normally can't tell because there is an elastic adhesive inside that makes it feel tight, but eventually that adhesive begins to degrade and the rubber appears to stretch and bunch up at the ends of the strain relief. Once that happens, there's no stopping it.

At least they are better than the cheap cables that just have rigid plastic molded to look like a rubber strain relief (FAKE!).

I think "regular" cables still use PVC and Apple moved to alternatives -- I like that because PVC cables generally use the heavy metal, lead, to increase strength/durability.

But seriously, it looks like Apple could mitigate the problem by making their cables thicker.

And regardless, pulling it out by the connector and not jerking the cord around or generally abusing it will make a cable last many times longer. I've still got cables from 15 years ago that work just fine; alternatively, I've seen users destroy the big strain relief on a power adaptor within a couple weeks of getting a new laptop. One of the things that ages those skinny Apple cables the most is getting your finger oils around the base of the connector.

Ya, I've read reviews on Amazon for various cables and people are giving one star reviews because they only lasted a month. There are definitely shitty products out there, but I've seen what "normal" people do to their electronics and it's no surprise things break so often.

Ironic that that is an American, in America.
