I believe that was a significant cause of failure in the old cables. Wrapping around those two wings put stress on the connection to the adapter. The new usb-c adapter is not an issue since you would typically unplug from the adapter, at least I do. I just loop the cable like any other cable and have the adapter separate. More flexibility in space constrained bags as well since you can lie these flat as opposed to the extra bulk of cable wrapped around the adapter.
yeah not sure why they removed the wings

IMO if you wrap it like a maniac would be the only way to put any kind of stress, just leave a portion of the cable and start wrapping.
Some folks would need a lesson from you, I suppose. Not everyone is that gentle.IMO if you wrap it like a maniac would be the only way to put any kind of stress, just leave a portion of the cable and start wrapping.
Ahem. Your response was much more compelling than mine. Sometimes I wonder why I bother to engage smart people like yourself in conversation. Don't get mad at me. This is what I've read here on MR. I've never had a problem with my adapters, nor do I care that wings are gone. But I guess your Apple-is-an-idiot-company narrative makes much more sense.Nonsense.
Like I told the smart guy here, I've never had an issue as I am reasonable in the care of my belongings. Unfortunately, a great many are not. I'm pretty sure since OP is asking how to properly do this, he also will not have problems with violent wrapping of cords and eventual failure.IMO if you wrap it like a maniac would be the only way to put any kind of stress, just leave a portion of the cable and start wrapping.

+1. I'd just wrap it around my fingers like I do with my other cables, then tuck one end around through the circle a couple times to keep it secure.As to the OP's question, just loop it loosely in your hand. It's just a cable.
Because they were being cheap as we now have a company run by an Ops bean counter and an army of MBAs. No good product person would work at Apple today.
The Apple Watch, Tim's next generation wearables future, is run by the guy who gave us Flash—one of the worst pieces of software in the history of modern computing. I'm sure he's a nice guy and means well, but seriously, couldn't they find anyone better?
Watching Apple nowadays as a long time fan and serious corporate and personal customer is nothing short of heart-breaking. Reminds me of the fall of Sony—all hardware fetish and a complete blindspot to the face that it's the software they we actually USE.

Nonsense.

They were being cheap? How is designing a new charing block instead of using the old one with wings an example of being cheap?
[doublepost=1482120355][/doublepost]
Almost certainly because the cable can disconnect and people trying to wrap the cable around the wings while it's still plugged into the charging brick would put a lot of strain on the connector.
Do you even think before you write responses? Or do you just pick phrases from your "I hate apple" playbook and spew them indiscriminately? Wow, pathetic.

did you buy the wrapping cable online?well I have to make sure the cable not worn out so I give this protection to the cable :

Charging cable is now detachable for god sake - don't look for conspiracy theory or savings. Blame reason and engineering.Because they were being cheap ...

What BarracksSi does. @SoyCapitanSoyCapitan: the new cables seem much sturdier! Horrible quality of cable walls was a major frustration of mine with Apple. But I'm quite satisfied with the USB-C cables so far.
