iPhone Data Cable Coming Apart

[gotzaiPhone]

I was told by my local apple store when my dog chewed on my my macbook power supply, that as long as the braided steel tube (whats showing in the pic) is still in tact, you're fine. That tubing does not conduct electricity and the actual coated power wires are inside of that.

Now if this is true or if they were blowing sunshine up my ass, I don't know...

No, that sounds right to me.

Mind you, if I order online, it might be cheaper as petrol is damn right expensive, blame "Golden" Brown.

If you are still under warranty, it is free.

Meh, I can't be bothered going through all the help & support jazz. I'll get another one.

I live a ways from an apple store, so I just bought a new one at Walmart, took out the new one and stuck the old one back in, took the it back and got my money back.

Nice! It's way too easy to scam Wal-Mart like that. They can afford it, before Sam Walton died, he was the richest man in the world. Almost double the next guy in line, Bill Gates. The inheritance was divided by four.

I've had my original earphones since i first got the phone. Mine are in near perfect condition. I don't know what you must have been doing with them, they seem quite resilient to abuse. you should of taken better care of them lol

Honestly i still have the same ones, there clean (ish) there's a few marks on the wires themselves but apart from that there fine. I wont deny that sound quality has decreased I like the standard earphones as they look good. I'll just get some new ones when i get the v3 iphone video
