I finally realized wires do matter a LOT.


I noted that somehow when I purchase lightning cable for iPhone in Walmart (Onn brand) It works for certain number of hours, then fails while original wire works till breaks. 
Is it about 1/1000 fractions of Ohm that makes the difference?

@mofimadness I sometimes want to use my iPhone as source and wonder how it recognizes apple wires vs other wires. What's the formula forit?
The only phone cable that is on the verge of failing for the 4 Android phones it's subjected to is the one in our company truck that regularly is found on the floor of the cab.

Subjected to being stepped on and all manner of 'truck abuse'....

Switch to a 'droid phone and it's cables.....and get back to us...;)
...sounds like another Apple conspiracy to me....

Anytime there's a 'familiar odor' that spouse and self agree we didn't 'create', we agree to blame on the dog.

...but I suspect that Sunny is getting a tad peeved over taking the fall for anything we don't or won't... ;)
So what does a Lightening Cable for charging an iPhone have to do with audio cables?  
I've already lost two cell phone chargers. The cable breaks at the connector and can't be easily repaired!

No. Not even.
