That's why I only write reviews when it's a bad product to warn other people. I bought another cheaper cable that lasts longer. I bought 1 month ago and only 1 is working now. The only reason I buy a 1ft cord is to fit my charger and phone in my pocket without getting too bulky with the cord. 2 cables didn't last 1 month and last time I need to check if it's charging because sometimes it charges in fast charge mode but mostly charges slower. I don't expect them to last forever, but a lifespan of 3-6 months of constant use would be ideal at this price point. In less than two minutes I had to buy new cables again. Maybe the cables are bad? I don't know but the wiring inside must be flimsy or poorly assembled not to last 2 months.
