I've had these cables for about 3 or 4 months now and they've held up pretty well for a while. I was convinced that I would never have to buy another charger again, until unfortunately the problems started. I had to put the tip in the phone to make sure it was charging, otherwise it would be plugged in without charging, and now Apple chargers work better than these, literally. I expected more from magnetic cables. At the moment I've had them for months and months, now they're junk
