Is there any hardware more fvcked than the Apple Lightning Charger? I've had to replace my iPhone 5 charging port twice. Not only that, but the damn cords fall apart and stop working after a few months of regular use.

I've never seen that happen to micro USB ports and cords.

Holy sh!t, I must be on my 5th or 6th cable in the last 12 months. They better have this fixed for the iPhone 6.

Anybody else getting tired of the fvckery from Apple?

Most people don't know this but there's a warranty on these things for a year.....Everything that comes with the iPhone is under warranty.

Take everything to the apple store and they'll give you a new one.

Yes these things suck and are defective. It's a damn shame that USB cords and printer/mouse cords work forever but these apple chargers are pieces of shyt.

I can't for the life of me figure out why they would come out with something that breaks down so easily. I had to fork over $30 to get my charging dock fixed. Apparently the tips on these things corrode super easily. I used to think this was just limited to the 3rd party cables I bought but it happens to the official Apple cables, too.

Apple makes a pretty penny selling poor hardware to consumers hell bent on buying the same-but-different iPhone products every year.

Apple has its users by the balls. They have no incentive to make those cords of quality, b/c they know you'll just buy a new one. And since they're exclusive to Apple products, they control the output

This is a good example of them knowing that their products are simplified for the casual buyers who wouldnt have enough knowledge to identify faulty hardware and using that fact to make more money.
