I’ve seemed to have much better luck than many. Usually, people are talking about lightning cables and my suspicion is that they use them while charging–where strain and heat causes it to break. I generally don’t and have only had mild issues with one or two cables over the one or two dozen I’ve had. But I’ve also tended to buy a lot of third party cables due to cost. I noticed a quality change when they started claiming more environmentally conscious materials used in their products and kind of think that’s a bigger contributor. I do see some strain relief (perhaps inadequate) in their lighting, magsafe, and USB-C charging cables. I know the current crop of cables still have those issues. I’m not sure strain relief was always there and I can’t find any info on cable design changes over the years.
