[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1637392, member: 234411"] I agree, the cables and connectors should be designed to not only last but to handle potential abuse (e.g. bending, acute angulation, etc.) - Apple has not been responsible in this goal. Now, I've been VERY careful w/ the charging cable on my MBPro which is nearly 2 years old and still looking good, so my first suggestion is that one really be careful about preventing any bending of the cable and remove/attach by the actual connector and not the cable (as [B]Jake[/B] has already suggested). Concerning the [I]lightning adapter[/I] on the newer iPads/iPhones, the same suggestion applies even more - I have a new iPad Air 2 (replaced an old iPad 2) - this adapter is small and fits tightly into the docking slot - DO NOT use the cord to pull out this attachment - gently grasp the actual connector and firmly remove the adapter - I wish all of these would be improved but w/ a little thought and care, they will last a while. Dave :) [/QUOTE]
