Lmao. You're mad because you ripped the cable and it doesn't work now?

Are you 12?

They are under warranty all you have to do is tell them they're broke and you get a replacement. Can do through mail also.

Thank you very much markyr17, I'll attempt what you did and see what will happen next.

I'm never going to understand how people kill their cables.

I have 3 lightning cables that are in perfect condition and at least 2-3 30 pin cables from my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 that are also almost in perfect condition.

Do you guys chew on your cables or something? :p

Meh, when I use it, the cable at the end bends which causes it to break. B.T.W. I always use it.

I have had dozens of iDevices between my wife and I and grandson.
And uncounted cables (plugged into wall chargers, others plugged into USB ports, others plugged into car chargers and still others used during traveling).

Never had a single cable fail !

Are you yanking them out with pliers or twirling your iDevices around in circles while plugged into the cables ?

One person breaking 2 lightning cables in 2 months is most certainly mistreatment !
