Apple and their technology

Appearence over functionality.
Welcome to our society.

All Apple products look better, cost twice as much and can do half as much.

This started happening with my Beats cord. I thought they lasted a long time -.-

Is it normal to keep having to buy chargers about every month because they won't connect my iPod? Most of them aren't even frayed, they just stopped charging

I can't tell you how many apple chargers have done this to me. In fact, it happened again just last week..

And yet, people still buy their products in unfathomable masses anyway, despite the fact that the quality is sub-par. Not me, but people.

I put black tape on mine, on both sides. It looks bad, but I just want it to charge.

Funny have had my charger 3 years with no problems or fraying.. Maybe if you realize it's a power cord and don't abuse it

A friend of mine takes about a ball point pen and works the spring onto the cord. I'm not sure how or why it works, but once it's in place it keeps the cable from breaking.
