Yeah, I must've opened that piece of shit so many times over the years. Least reliable computer I ever owned.

Those delicious locking connectors. I have my original cable from the first retina iPad and the plastic shell has cracked off recently, but it still works because it's encased in metal, nothing a bit of ducktape didn't fix.
Where did things go so wrong?

Haven't had to open it up since, for 2 years till now it's been an overheating, but very reliable, multimedia machine for use around the home.

Still expecting it to fail any day now, but I just can't see that happening with how it's trucking on

i've gone through five charging cables for my iphone's in the last four years. they always fray at the same exact location.

absolute garbage. for my new se i bought a third party lightning cable off of amazon and its been great. cheaper too than a apple branded one. tough cable and sleeved.

i use my stock one that came with it in my car and its already starting to fray from light usage.

and no, i have always tried to be gentle with them as much as i can but they still fray. they have been the only cables i have ever owned to fray.

i have usb cables from 2004 i still use today that still look brand new. apple cannot get into cables at all.
