It is their fault. They choose the components and packge the product. If it doesn't work it is down to them to sort it out, even is that then means them coming down on their vendors, it is still their responsibility.

If Apple actually manufactured the hardware, it might be worth a higher price. But Apple would probably outsource to Elbonia and still put high price tags on the cheap products. I buy domestically-manufactured cables from a local computer store. The prices and warranty are good, and I don't get broken cables that need to be replaced every few months. :)
