For the price you pay for the iPhone it should include a 10m cord on a reel. Nice that it’s finally braided though. Never had a Apple charging cable that wouldn’t deteriorate.
You can bet your left nut that braiding will do precisely zero for durability. No way they want to eat into their cable profits.
The magsafe cables are braided and they’re nice. Maybe someone else can chime in if they actually last longer as I‘m rarey using mine, so it being prestine is not a surprise in my case.
Yeah I’ve got one too. They’re certainly nicer, but the thing that worries me is while the braided cable is a little more durable they’ve taken away the strain relief.
(That said these usb-c ones look like they have strain relief, so maybe?)
