Except for the first USB cables for iPhone5, those things only last a few months. First time I have had to buy three cables for charging one device within a year.

Did you know those are covered under your iPhone warranty? As long as you have a warranty (including AppleCare, so up to 2 years), they will replace the USB cable and headphones for free.

Didn't know that until it was too late... It did surprise me that they were so bad that year.
