Anyone's lightning cable coming apart?

[MTShipp]

Went to unplug my iPhone 5 this morning and the tip housing pulled apart revealing the wired connection to the lightning tip on the cable. It slides back up but then loosens again when unplugging.

Anyone seeing this?

No, put a drop of glue at the connection point and enjoy.

Quality...

Just get it replaced by apple! Things break, your under warranty for a year to have them fixed.

Stop yanking the cable and pinch the plastic plug body instead.

iPhones should come with like 3 cables in the package.
Just ordered another 2

That's what warranties are for.

It is the plastic plug body coming apart, not the cable.

What did Apple say when you called them?

What did Apple say when you called them?

Did not call. I have made a genius appointment for Saturday. The cable still works.

You're going to see a genius for a cable? Why not just slap some electric tape on it?

It's my understanding that the cables are under warranty as well. Could be wrong however.

Bad advice.

Of course they are...

Why not have a two week old cable that is failing replaced with a cable that is not failing?

I would have done the same thing, Apple will just replace it.

Same thing happened to me yesterday. Here's a pic: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A4xXv_kCUAAgkAE.jpg

Just took it into the store and they replaced it. If it wasn't in warranty, I would have just glued it as suggested above. But for something that costs $21, Apple can replace it.

I agree.
You pay an arm and a leg for it.
Better not be like the Chinese cheap cables.
Apples are so much better and never break or mulfunction you know

That doesn't look too bad. I would glue it.
