You might want to get a new one. Doesn’t need to be from Apple directly, you can get one for 5 bucks on amazon.
Disclaimer: You might lose your Zeus superpowers. -
Here we witness Apple, the pinnacle of quality. No other entity comes close to its craftsmanship and revolutionary ideas.
-
Didn’t take long for blind Apple haters to appear and blame this on Apple. 😂
I would be disappointed otherwise. -
if you’re getting static shock it could be your carpeting
My office used to have a carpet flooring that would shock everyone when we touched metal, to the point where people touched their macbooks elbows first. 😅
They changed it and now no one is getting shocked anymore -
@jiraTicket i had that happen a lot with certain types of shoes and surfaces i the office. What i did to discharge myself, is just carry a key or something out of metal around, and touch something grounded like a door handle etc with the key instead before touching it directly. The spark will happen at the key instead of your hand 👌

max199313701y@thebiochemic mounted heating Radiator is also an option, ground through the pipes and metal.

qwwerty11441yit always fascinated me this is how most of the apple lightning cables look like after some time of intensive use ... while even the cheapest premiumcord USB cables are somehow surviving the same usage in the same environment for years
-
@qwwerty I’ve been using my main lightning cabe for like a decade and it does not look like this.
Maybe stop raping your cable? -
@dontbeevil I’ve added a counterexample with personal experience, so it’s not blind.
You are a troll anyway, so even if you had given an example to back up your blame (you didn’t), it wouldn’t matter. -
@dontbeevil at least I base by opinion on actual experience instead of blindly hating without ANY experience. Nice try, troll.
-
@dontbeevil and again you start comparing with MS without any fucking reason at all.
-
@ostream my grandpa ate bread and died a few minutes later.
Guess bread is highly lethal. -
@dontbeevil and I want to make sure that the fact that you are just trolling is visible to everyone else. Our job is done here.
-
@ostream exactly. And that’s also why nobody cares about that specific cable which was shown here by OP.
Both of us (me and OP) just shared our personal experience.
Haters come here and blame it on Apple without ANY experience on their own. And you support them despite proving them wrong with your very own grandpa analogy. -
@Lensflare Apple has some pretty shitty charging cables. (But they're far from alone, lots of vendors include cheap cables with their products).
However, that cable looks abused. -
@dontbeevil TBH comapnies like Sony is equally overpriced and equally shit, The only thing that make crapple unique is that they have fans who claim that shit tastes good.
This is my iphone charger. I have to charge my phone 32 hours per day because the battery is dogshit.
U can see how fucked it is from charging so much. The cable itself ripped apart and u can see the wires inside but no wires are sticking out.
I get ZAPPED when i touch anything in my environment. Anything i touch electrocutes me. Like im the fucking Zeus.
Could this cable be the reason?
