Problem with iPhone 5 Charger

Mine did the same thing. A few days later the cord stopped charging. Looks like it was coming apart where the coed met the plug.

Got a new one at Walgreens for few bucks.

 

I've probably gone through more. The 10 ft ones last about a week.

The cheapest Walmart cord seems to do fine but it's probably best to just pick up a real Apple one at Radio Shack or something. I don't trust the "real" ones online.

 

FYI- if you want to get more life out of your lightning charger, pick up a heat shrink tube kit at Harborfreight or Fry's and some ballpoint pens for the spring. Put a spring on both ends of the cord at the jacket and heat shrink tube it all together. (you can get the heat shrink jacket in any color)

My bad, I meant six FEET.

Spoilered for huge picture of long, thick black cable.

That's pretty cool, it'd be even cooler if Apple did that for us though. Everyone I know who has an iPhone has the issue with the wire tearing at the connector.

 

Buy a Windows Phone with wireless charging. Problem solved.

 

Yeah, next time, and I ain't even lying. iPhone 5 has been disappoint.

LOL @ the pink legwarmers up there ^^. I love it.
