Ok this might sound a bit stupid or petty but it's driving me insane. I was wondering if there's a warranty with apple accessories, in specific the lightning cable. Over the past year I've had to buy about 4 (£15 each) because they keep breaking! I wouldn't mind it if there was a cheaper working alternative however all the fakes I try never work. Anyway, I'm wondering if there's a warranty for genuine apple lightning cables and if so how can I get a replacement?
How do you get through so many so quickly... I've still got my original iPod charger from 3 years ago it's fine!! My lightning ones been fine for 6 months.
anyway I've just googled and apparently it is under warranty. But i think it's best to take it into a store if it's close.

Wait a few more months and it'll prob start deteriorating! Idk what it is but it drives me insane when I wake up and sometimes it hasn't charged :'(. Thanks I'll prob just take it into a store, seems a bit pointless just for a small cable but I'll give it a go.Quote:

What are you doing with them to stop them from working? Haven't had a problem with mine.

Idk I think it's the phone more than anything, these cables can't be such a poor quality that I have to buy a few.
Mine just broke there too so gonna take mine in cause I think it is! my sis is on like her third. They are so bad lol. She has bought one from the 02 shop now which is cheaper and looks a lot better. Imo the old chargers were fine but the iphone 5 are terrible.
My mac power adapter always rips omg, so annoying. Appartently it was under warrenty but I had to call them up and do all this complicated jazz and comfirm my parents credit card details and i was like cba so just bought a decent one for like 10 quid on amazon.
