Why do third party Lightning cables eventually die? (alien.top)

This has never not happened for me, but official cables continue to function for me to this day. Does the iPhone fry unofficial cables on purpose after a certain amount of time?

There’s definitely poorly made third party ones out there that haven’t even worked for me out of the box. I basically don’t gamble with anything. It’s anker or 1st party

Same here - I’ve got a three year old Anker cable that has multiple daily uses. They’re also the only non-apple cable that I can use with my laptops that give me full functionality.
