Why do third party Lightning cables eventually die? - eviltoast

This has never not happened for me, but official cables continue to function for me to this day. Does the iPhone fry unofficial cables on purpose after a certain amount of time?

    There’s definitely poorly made third party ones out there that haven’t even worked for me out of the box. I basically don’t gamble with anything. It’s anker or 1st party

      Same here - I’ve got a three year old Anker cable that has multiple daily uses. They’re also the only non-apple cable that I can use with my laptops that give me full functionality.
