Why?

Buy some white heat shrink and apply it to a new cable

Can't say I've ever had a apple cable go like this including my 5S lead.

If you manage to make your cables look like the photos in this thread then you're obviously mistreating them. Not once in my life have I had any cable, Apple or otherwise, fail like this. My iPhone 5's USB cable is a year old and it looks like new, and I use my phone quite a bit in bed with it charging, it gets moved around a lot, but I always grab the connector when unplugging...

Don't know how you managed to wreck them!

I'm still using my iPhone 5 cable to this day, looks a bit mucky but structurally sound.

Been using apple cables for years and never once had one do that.

That's so obviously being pulled at the cable, not the connector. Any cable, you shouldn't be pulling.

How has it become so yellow within that time? Mine looks exactly as it came.

It's just the camera, the cable is still nice and white.

Is it worth of >£20 inside

Never broken an Apple cable in my life! I just take care of them because I know they're expensive.

I do agree that the strain relief is a bit too protective and not really flexible enough!

Why?
