Go to a apple store. The cover that. get new one.
From Apples website. Read the first sentence:
WHAT IS COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY?
Apple warrants the Apple-branded hardware product and accessories contained in the original packaging ("Apple Product") against defects in materials and workmanship when used normally in accordance with Apple's published guidelines for a period of ONE (1) YEAR from the date of original retail purchase by the end-user purchaser ("Warranty Period"). Apple's published guidelines include but are not limited to information contained in technical specifications, user manuals and service communications.

Can we also add earbud cables to this list?
I've gone through so many pairs because the connection at the plug gets loose inside and breaks connection to one of the buds.
Seems like manufacturers could make this connection a little more robust.

Just an FYI. Apple DOES replace the MagSafe power adapters that have this issue. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS41…
- Yes they replace your adapter... but that doesn't 'fix' the problem.d_rek

this happens to every apple cord my wife has but I have never had this problem. I also noticed it happens to her hair dryer, straightening iron and even our vacuum cleaner. It ends up not being the cords fault but the way the user grabs onto the end then twists the cord around it's self for storage. Not grab the end when twisting and this shouldn't happen... problem solved.

Thank goodness you no longer require a cord to sync iOS devices, you only need them to charge.

I went through two pair of iPod earbuds in two years because they were so shoddy, but never had a problem with the USB cable.

I think one thing to keep in mind with these cables, is that you are quite frankly plugging them in and out of an iPhone or iPod millions more times than any other USB device you own – not to mention you probably yank it out with the cable instead of grabbing the 6 pin part and slowly removing it. I have almost never had a problem with the other standard USB end...
I'm guilty of this too, but I think there's room to talk about operator error with this specific issue ;)
- yep. just like the power mac g4 cube overheating/cracking issue. User error.flashbender
- So similar...NONEIS

interesting.
It is almost as though Apple is focussed on making money through engineered obsolescence.
weird.

TOTALLY AGREE.
I had an iphone for 6 months and this happened (also happened to my gf on every ipod she has ever had). so of course i went to the store for a replacement.
I spoke to a genius (so genius he works in a apple shop), i explained, he said they dont replace them. So for a phone that cost £500 they dont replace the cables that are made of paper thin plastic within warranty. That must cost them a whole 50p to make.
I asked for a complaints department. he said they dont have one, he said apple dont have a complaints department only feedback. Wow. What an arrogant bunch of rampaging homosexuals apple truly are.
