4 Reasons why I'll never use a standard charging cable again - ( 2 min read )

As anyone that has an iPhone will tell you, when it comes to charging cables for this battery-draining  beast, "the struggle is real".  I'm tired of giving  $20 to Apple so they can stuff their pockets every 6 or 7 months, when their standard lightning cable tears or breaks.
