      This is because the plastic they originally used which was good for this kinda caused cancer, so they had to change to a new plastic for that fascist white they love… Only problem is the new plastic breaks easily.

      Weird, for me the apple cables are usually the best I can get. But I’ve never had one of those plastic/silicone cables of theirs, just their braided USB-C ones. They have really good charging speeds and I have yet to break one of them.

        Its just stats. They are by far the most common cable, so naturally there will be more broken ones.

        They are also great quality so they get used until they wear down. Every third party one I’ve bought has stopped working before any physical damage appeared.
