Is there such a thing as an iPhone charging cable that actually works for more than a few months?

If so can you please please please share where you got one. Apple ones don’t, cheap ones don’t. Ones with extra long cables don’t. Ones with short cables don’t. Where can I find one?????

My cables are constantly breaking - maybe because when not in use I stuff them in my bag, I don’t want cables trailing all over the house.
To the people whose cables don’t break - how do you store them?

Cables break all the time here. Not doing anything particular with them and don’t use the phone while it’s charging. Will try unbreakcable.

@rslsys

Induction charger? just lay the phone on it.
It’s bad for the battery to use this frequently.

I'm still using the original Apple charging cable which came with my iPhone 5 - so it's around 8 years old. I store it loosely coiled on the sideboard.

I kill my MacBook cables but my iPhone I've never had issues with. Have you considered a wireless charger?

Tesco do one that looks like metal. It is lightening resistant and cost about £12. Had mine for 4 years
