However, the question that always arises is: “Why do iPhones release expensive phones but with faulty chargers?” This question is widespread among iPhone users in general. But isn’t there another aspect to the same question? Yes, we can say, “Why do iPhone chargers break down quickly?” What prompted me to talk to you about this issue is that I had a charger that burned right in front of my eyes yesterday, in fact, it was just a matter of plugging it into the wall socket, and it wasn’t the first charger for me.
If you have been using Apple phones for several years, then you have definitely experienced this problem before, even if only once. So, today we are here to clarify what are the real causes of iPhone charger malfunction and frequent failure to work, even if it is an original charger, then we focus more on how to preserve it to avoid this due to its high price.
What causes charger damage?
Issues with cable cutting and wire deterioration from the inside: Whether you own an original iPhone charger or have a charger with another brand but certified by Apple, you may end up with the same type of problems. Often, the reason for the problem is the cables themselves, due to their deterioration from the inside and the separation of their connections. Sometimes it is easy to identify the problem if it turns out that the cut is exposed in front of us and near the connection port. These cuts result from continuous pulling and twisting of the cable due to improper use.
Electrical current issues: Also, unstable electrical current means increased noise levels and more voltage on the charger itself, which can eventually cause the charger to fail over time because it is not equipped to handle the wrong electrical current. Therefore, it is better if you can buy surge protectors to protect the charger and the rest of your electronic and electrical devices, do not hesitate to do so.
How to preserve the iPhone charger from damage?
Choosing a charger with Apple’s brand: is the first correct step in buying a charger capable of lasting for years to come. The components of certified chargers are of high quality and manufacturers estimate long virtual lifespans. If you find yourself forced to buy a cheap charger, you will find yourself forced to change it from time to time without realizing that the real reason for its failure is the poor quality of its raw materials. It is considered doomed to die quickly by its makers, and that is why it is sold at cheap prices.
Do not attempt to pull the charger from the cable: What is most prone to damage in Apple chargers are the cables themselves and not the main charger box. It is better when unplugging the charger from the phone to try to firmly grip the charging port and then gently pull it in the correct way so that the strong pressure does not damage the port or extract the metal terminals responsible for passing the electrical current – in worst cases, forcibly unplugging may cause damage to the metal chips at the phone’s connection port. There are important ways to preserve the charging socket from damage.
Learn how to fold cables properly: The best way to preserve cable wires from deterioration when traveling with the charger or leaving it in the laptop bag is to twist and fold the cable itself, which should resemble the twisting paths and routes of cars. This method is correct and scientifically proven to protect the cables and their wires from the inside. This is the same reason why manufacturers rely on the same method when shipping and selling all electronic cables, but if you want the safest way to maintain charger cables, it is the circular method illustrated in the previous image, it is a safe method and does not cause wire deterioration from the inside.
