Ever seen a frayed lighting cable? In my whole life, from all Apple people I know, I've seen only those, in various stages of decomposition. Do I see white cable breaking apart? No need to check connector, I know its apple's. For the price of 5-10 USB ones that keep working much much longer. Since we are comparing personal anecdotes I never had a single USB port fail me in 20 years, be it mini, micro, usbc. But I don't treat my electronics like garbage, that usually helps a bit. |

This was due to a particular material they were using that was more environmentally friendly, if I recall correctly. It wasn't just lightning cables, pretty much all of Apple's cables from that time were susceptible. It's not an issue with whatever they're currently using, though.
Regardless, the material of the rubber they're using the wrap the cable has absolutely nothing to do with the lightning connector.
