Been using it the 10 years it has existed. Never had such a problem on any cable at all.

Not that I would be too concerned if I did. The socket is on a $900 device, the cable is $20. The socket being so good is what makes Lightning good.

Its really weird that there are people outright lying for a corporation.

Making bald accusations like that does nothing.

I related my experiences. You related yours.

I've never had a problem with a Lightning connector losing a single contact.

Apple cables shredding their insulation? Sure. I don't use Apple's C to Lightning cables much because of that (and the cost).

No, I'm relaying the general truth that the cables fall apart with a stuff breeze. You are trying to muddy the waters for some dumb reason.

And its ALL lightning cables. Apple owns the patent and won't license it to anyone that would actually make a long lasting product.

USB-C is license free. Meaning actual competition makes the cables better.

No. You are relating your experiences. I am relating mine.

You suggest that you had multiple pins fall out of Lightning cable connectors. I indicate I have had none.

There's no difference here. You are not the arbiter of truth, nor do you have a platform from which to make any kind of serious shill accusation from nor claims that I am "muddying" anything.

Nonsense. I get most of my cables from Anker. They last longer than Apple's, insulation-wise. And as I said, I've never had a problem with the connector itself so that's no different.

> USB-C is license free. Meaning actual competition makes the cables better.

Not sure what this has to do with anything other than your fantasy about collusion to make bad cables.

Jesus christ, give it a rest. You aren't fooling anyone. Its common knowledge that they fall apart. This weird gaslighting shtick is just sad.

This isn't a case of you speaking the God's truth and me lying.

We are both relating our experiences.

You suggest that you had multiple pins fall out of Lightning cable connectors. I indicate I have had none. I've never had a problem with the connector itself on any Lightning cable. And I've been using them since the last iPod Nano (the first one that used Lightning).

The fact you have to keep claiming im relaying only my experiences, which i am not, says all anyone needs to know about you. Pathetic.
