They don’t come in the box anymore, but are fairly affordable at $9.

Also, they’re quite effective devices: https://www.kenrockwell.com/apple/lightning-adapter-audio-qu...

They aren't durable in my experience though. Although most apple cords have issues with the connection "neck" (not sure of the actual nomenclature).

Is "strain relief" the nomenclature you're looking for?

More like the lack thereof... Apple seems to really go for form-over-function on those, and it's been like that for a long time.

Impressive! Didn’t know Ken did audio reviews too.

I have heard hardcore audio nerds say "he doesn't"... Specifically in regard to that blog post. But these are mostly the same people who pay $bignum per meter for crap like silver plated oxygen free 3mm^2 speaker cable, so I don't really place much weight in their opinions...

Cannot charge and you need a dongle.
