Some Reasons Why iPhone Cables Are Easily Damaged
Indeed, iPhone cables are
easily damaged for their business needs?
Wait a minute….
The statement is indeed
not entirely correct.
In fact there are a
number of causes that make iPhone cables fragile and easily damaged. Of course
this is very inversely proportional to the smartphone it has right?
1. An iPhone labeled PVC-free device
If you have an iPhone, try
looking at the packaging box or the guidebook. Because you can find PVC-free
labels, which means that iPhone devices are free of PVC plastic material.
PVC or Polyvinyl Chloride
is one plastic material that has high durability, has solid, elastic, and long-lasting
properties.
Why is PVC removed from
the iPhone device, especially the cable?
In 2009, environmental
activist Greenpeace succeeded in lobbying Apple to make the device free from
this one plastic material, through a campaign called "Green My Apple".
They themselves consider
PVC to be a plastic material that is harmful to the environment, due to not
being easily degraded and destroyed for a long time.
2. iPhone cable design that is less noticed
Because the ban on the
use of PVC also makes Apple have to use plastic material that is thinner,
lighter, and easily rolled by the user.
The result clearly makes
the iPhone cable breakable, both when folded and bent repeatedly.
Not only that, Apple also
seems to not pay attention to the cable design that is owned by the device,
including the iPad and Macbook.
For example, use a
section called Strain Relief located at the end of the cable, which serves to
protect the cable from bending which can break the inside of the cable.
Apple also only uses
small and thin Strain Relief which is easily broken. To outsmart it, you can
just get it via a cable from a third party.
Unfortunately, the price
can be more expensive. Because to use lighting cables only, third-party
companies must pay 30% to license their products.

3. Habits of Using Bad Cables
And of course the last,
the iPhone cable that is easily damaged is caused by using a bad cable and caused
by the user.
Like bending, rolling,
and storing cables carelessly. Or pull the cable from the end in the wrong way.
So try to pay attention
again how to use your iPhone cable again.
