i Phone cord

Isn't iphone one of those that can use a wireless charger ?

I don't have that problem over numerous cords (one in the car, one next to the bed, one in my office) and numerous phones (mine, wife and two kids). I always grab the cord by the plug itself instead of pulling the cord and that seems to help. Heck I still have an iPhone 4 that I am using as an iPod that uses the OEM cord.

No wireless charger. Only way to do so would be by adding a receiver pack to the back. I suppose Apple did not want to do that in order to keep the phone a slim as possible.

But that gave me an idea: There is such a thing as a docking station and that would of course eliminate the cord.

thank you

She bends it, that's the problem.

I'm going to tell her not to use the cord at all...

except for at the end of the day when she can place in on charge overnight.

I agree, grab the plug not the cord.

We have seven or eight Iphone Lightening cords. Some scattered about the house, one in each car and one at work. I can't remember ever breaking one.

Its good that the wall wart hasn't changed since the I3; with upgrades every few years we have a good supply of them.

Get her a charger that does not use a cord. Just sit the phone on top of it and magic happens. I think it takes longer though.

Or get her an Android phone.. never had a cord go bad even after a few years. Or is she abusing the cord?

It's simply that she bends the cord...

Amazingly when I told her just not to use the cord at all

(except while charing overnight) she agreed!

Yep, she bends it.

Amazon shows a dozen wireless chargers I don't know mdel specifics as I don't buy Apple products but none mention the need for adding a back pack.

I think the problem is now solved as my wife agreed to use the cable only when charging overnight.

In the meantime I was informed that Anker makes superior cables so will get that brand the next time I order

She thought the battery would go dead, so kept it plugged in while using it. The way she holds it causes it to bend.

She took my advice however and has been using it all day without it plugged in and the battery has held up just fine.

So from now on she will just charge it at night and the problem should be solved.

That said: I am absolutely going to try out the Anker brand cords
