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?

Never had a problem with mine. Most just abuse their chords then wonder why they don't work.

Apple does not make the cords like they used to. Now I buy good quality 3rd party cords. They last much much longer.

  • Why do I do this? I'm very very very tired yet I don't want to sleep? I want to sleep because I'm practically blinking and bobbing my head side to side like a drunken man but I just don't want to sleep. I watch tv or go on Facebook or play on my iPhone. And I'm starting to get dark circles. And as a guy I don't wear. Concealer or whatever
  • My iphone screen is very dark, but if I look very close, I see the apps slightly? My iphone screen is very dark but I still see the buttons slightly, but I have to look very closely in order to. It is definitely not the brightness, because the brightness is set to 100% and its way too dark anyway. I tried restoring my phone and turning it on and off, but nothing is working. Please help. What do I do? I literally threw it out of anger and its fixed.
  • My iphone 4s is charging very very slowly? I let my phone charge for about three hourse and it only charged from 3% to 5% and its really really slow; i'm not sure if its the battery or not. Also; i had finally charged it to 10% and i took it off the plug for a second the. It went back to 1%.
  • My eyes hurt, especially whe looking at a screen, why? So recently my eyes started hurting, especially in the back when I look at my iphone screen or a screen in general, I haven't been having lots of screen time but I would watch about an hour to two hours of netflix on my phone when I go to bed, and my eyes are a bit more sensitive to light, are they just irritated or is there some bigger problem?
