Are apple iphone chargers just purposely bad?

I think i'm on my 3rd/4th and it already stopped working. Over this.

well, they're made by people who jump to their deaths so often that there are nets on the factories to catch them so I can't imagine they're quality products
@SW-User I had to google that because it sounded so surreal---found it a matter of record. 😳

Legit ones from the Apple Store aren't too bad, but if you buy elsewhere, they're hit and miss from my experience.

@electropura The actual charger that comes with the phone when you first purchase it is the one that stays the longest, other than that the individual ones just stop working

@offingg I had to replace mine last year, it's still going and I'm satisfied with it, it's not going down yet, I just hope I'm not tempting fate. 😂

The charger and cable are covered by the warranty, and if you paid for AppleCare+, it's covered by that, too.

That's true but they just suddenly stop working it's annoying @DistilledSpirit

no ive had the same one for years try not to bend it
offingg · 26-30, F
@SW-User Is bending the problem? Then i'm guilty, but tbh you expect it to survive light bending
SW-User
@offingg yeah it messes up the inside causing it to lose charge but then again its expected to bend a little it also wears out if you charge your phone a lot

Yeah that's how they get you to buy more
We've gone through a couple too.

It's so annoying!!!! @Spoiledbrat
Yes, they're not well made at all. Especially considering their expense.
