Reader E-Mails Me About Apple’s Lightning Cable Quality

I have written twice about the quality of Apple’s Lightning Cables. It now seems that I am not alone in this. A reader of this blog reached out to me with this story:

Hello IT Nerd. I tripped over your blog via Google when looking for information on how bad Apple’s Lightning cables are. Twice in the last two months, I’ve had the cable housing separate from the rest of the cable. The the cable becomes inoperative because the wires separate from the Lightning connection. To show you what I am talking about, I’ve enclosed a picture. Perhaps if you and others keep writing stories about this, Apple will finally do something to make these cables better. 

Thanks for reading.

Here’s the picture the reader sent me:

Have you had problems with Apple Lightning cables? If so, drop me a note and let me know. I’ll put whatever responses I get into another post.
