I have bought about eight of these USB-A to lightning cables. The ads say they are supposed to be indestructible. They have "lifetime guarantee".
It turns out that they are far from indestructible and so far I have been able to get a replacement cable for the ones that got broken.
Don't get me wrong, we have not mistreated the cables in any way, we haven't even tried doing pull-ups with them like in the commercials.
It turns out that the "lifetime guarantee" only applies for the first cable that you receive. Now, that all of my eight something cables have been replaced, they still keep breaking and the lifetime that is referred to is the lifetime of the first cable.
