    I actually haven’t had a cable do this since I stopped buying apple cables. I usually will buy just whatever brand I find and they might stop working eventually, but rarely do they fray like those iPod ones used to.

      The main thing that kills them is sunlight. Totally disintegrates the cover apple uses on their cables.

      But non-Apple cables are not officially supported, right? I think apple can’t guarantee that your iPhone works and charges well with an unlicensed cable. Also I don’t know if the Apple Repair Shop will accept a phone that has been charged with an unlicensed cable. But what do I know, I am an Android user

        As long as they have the MFI certification they are officially supported. I’ve been using a non-MFI cable for a while now and it’s never been a problem, even with getting my battery replaced by Apple.

          Oh I just stopped buying apple products altogether after I stopped using iPods. But yeah I have heard that before.

          Did you know that the mfi certification cost like $10,000 and requires you to provide three prototypes to Apple that they are allowed to destroy, as well as your full schematics and the complete design of the product? Gee how do they come up with so many ideas…

          You could of course try to skip that but then Apple will fence you off from access to some of their chipsets and protocols so your product will work less well than ones that capitulate.

          Seriously fuck Apple

        Car manufacturer can’t garuntee that the car will drive fine on a road not made by them.

        What you said/quoted is a meaningless sentence that just reduces into “bad products are possible to make”

                Because I don’t like when people lie?

                You need to do a better job at being a troll. A good comeback needs to actually make sense, not be an overused cliche.

                Maybe you’ll do better next time bud.

                  If you don’t like a joke then just move on and don’t waste your time. You are just beeing unnecessarily dramatic.

                    What joke? You didn’t make a joke. You just lied and now are trying to walk it back when called out.

                    What do you expect here? You think people should just allow the spread of misinformation? That I shouldn’t correct you when you say something wrong in fear of you being a little butthurt?

                    I don’t get it.
