Since the iPhone 5, Apple phones have continued to use the lightning connector. Compared to the original 30-pin connector, the lightning connector is smaller in size, freeing up more space for the electronic components inside the phone, which is conducive to improving the phone's performance, and it is also more durable because it does not distinguish between the front and back.
 
Apple does not have its own factory, and relies on foundries for production. In the public impression, most brands without their own factories are unreliable, but Apple is obviously different, this is related to Apple's corporate strategy, and the asset-light operation allows Apple to focus more on product research and development. Moreover, the level of foundries selected by Apple is also high, including Foxconn, one of the largest foundries in the world, and Apple's mobile phones are also produced from this factory, so there is no need to worry about the quality of workmanship.
 
If you are the original party, Apple's official data cable is obviously the most secure choice, after all, it has the blood of orthodox Apple, and under the evaluation of "Consumer Reports", the charging speed and data transfer speed are the fastest. Apple is one of the earliest manufacturers to use TPE as a data cable coverer, with rich experience and high level of craftsmanship, if you put aside the durability, the feel of its data cable is also the best, smooth and non-sticky, soft and not stiff.
 
As for the problem of poor durability of Apple's official line, it is a cliché, which is due to Apple's compromise on durability in order to balance aesthetics, quality and environmental protection. Apple has always advocated environmental protection, from the Apple headquarters building all the electricity from the roof of the solar panels can be known, so its own products are the same, Apple wire selection of TPE material is safe and non-toxic, high flame retardant, will not cause irritation to human skin, the disadvantage is easy aging. In addition, in order to pursue a minimalist design, Apple has adopted a straight-up and straight-down protective rubber ring design at the joint, which looks beautiful, but it cannot disperse the stress well, so it is easy to burst if the joint is bent too much.
 
In fact, the original cable bursts, breaks, yellowing and other problems are also related to the usual bad habits, while charging while playing with the phone, pulling the data cable, not tidying up the data cable, wet hands touching the data cable, etc., will affect the life of the data cable, if you pay more attention, the quality of Apple's official line can still be guaranteed.
