What is wrong with iPhone 5 chargers?
I got my iPhone 5 last year in November, and as you all know it comes with headphones and also a charger. The charger was working great, it charged my phone fast and also worked right away as soon as I plugged it in and connected the cord to my phone.
But, a month ago I broke that charger, it just stopped working… The cord just didn't work, whenever I tried to put it in the outlet it wouldn't charge and it would say something about malfunctioned or doesn't recognize the usb cord whenever I tried to in my laptop. Ever since then, I've broken 3 more chargers. 1 was cheap, and the 2 other ones were GOOD QUALITY APPLE ones. They just stopped working, it's crazy I have no idea why… A good friend of mine also has an iPhone 5 and is experiencing the same exact thing. We take very good care of our chargers also. (I know for a fact it's the chargers not my phone or the outlet connecter)
I just broke one last night, and I'm really questioning the quality of the iPhone 5 chargers because it doesn't seem to happen to the other iPhone chargers. My sister has the 4 and is not the best at taking care of it but they still seem to work for some reason.
Do you guys have any idea? I might go to the store today to talk to people about it, but for now I just need some ideas to what might be happening… P. S I'm really sorry for an essays I just wanted to give as much information as possible.
It's probably because you're being rough on them I have an iPod 5 since I've had since they came out and the charger is still working perfectly no problems at all.
(Don't be so rough)
It shouldn't break that easily i have a 5 and its working fine. What you can try is when you plug it in to you're iphone and it starts charging turn off the iphone. This will charge it faster and hopefully work. Also try to keep it away from humid or hot places.
They shouldn't break easy I've had mine for over a 3 years still working fine the only thin that does suck is the USB part that breaks all the time that's normal for any apple USB cord but if you're throwin your charger or dropping it often yeah it'll break
- Why is it that my iPhone chargers stop working? I've purchased several chargers this year and after about a month, they stop working and my latest one says that the charger isn't supported with this accessory.Am I buying the wrong charger? The chargers that I buy on amazon say that they can be used for any iPhone or iPod. I have an iPhone 4.
- Why do Iphone chargers (especially iphone 5) not last very long? I can never keep a charger more than a couple months without it breaking or ceasing functionality. It doesn't matter if I'm using the charger mostly in the office, in my car, at home, etc. Is this a scheme by manufacturers to keep charger revenue flowing or is this the universe's way of telling me I use my phone too much?
- Why are Iphone chargers designed so the plug is difficult to pull out of socket? It pisses me off! Hairdryer plugs, hair straightener plugs are fine, i can get a good grip and pull them out easily but Ipod/Iphone plugs are so stupid! When i take my charger out i break a nail trying to pull the damn thing out!
- What's the difference between these iPhone chargers? What's the difference between the new (not really) iPhone 5/iPad Mini charger and the iPhone 4S Charger?
