ROCKET SCIENCE?? !! Lol ya I heard that too. My iPhone 6 Plus is probably well over five years old and on its first original battery. I’m actually plugged into one right now in the shop. I have them in my shop, motorhome, house, and race car trailer. Spent your money how you choose

I have an iphone 8+. I bought a pair of braided cords off amazon not long after I got my phone and they have been great. I can't find the exact cords I bought in my purchase history, but these look the most like what I have. I bought the 6 foot cord for a number of reasons. It's been more helpful than a hinder having that much cord. One cord stays home, but the other gets used (and abused) out and about. In two years, I have never had an issue with the end fraying like you show, or any connection issues. One thing the braided cord has over the factory cord is the plug end for the phone is a slightly smaller diameter so it works better with my Otter Box case. amazon linky

I use my oem cable and have for years.
I put a small piece of heat shrink tubing where the cord meets the plug since that area gets a lot of wear and tear and that is where they always seem to fail. Works for me!

I used heat shrink as well. The only kind I had was the marine version (the glue inside that oozes out) and not the cords are wearing just under the shrink tubing.

....or is the OEM stuff the only option?
I’ve got an iPhone 6 and have bought two diff cable sets off eBay and they work for awhile but then the contact on the phone cord going into the phone loses the connection.... I then put my old Apple cord on it ....
No problem BUT the insulation is pulling away on that cord ... Try one state SOUTH of you.................
HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!
