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?

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...;)
@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?
