Interesting that Apple is concerned about the fire and electric shock hazard of the knock-off charger cables when their own cables are brittle as hell and subject to the same issues.
Almost entirely across the board, Apple's hardware hardware quality is absolutely unmatched or comparable with industry leading standards except for their flimsy cables which routinely fall apart for so many people. Whichever person inside their company fetishizes thin cables is 100% evil. Not just in terms of deliberately designing a failing product that needs to be replaced after a year or so, but in terms of putting people at risk for fire and shock. This is a well known problem with Apple's products.
The idiotic knock off companies should forget trying to copy Apple here and just make some normal slightly thicker cables with proper strain relief that don't break if you look at it wrong. You eliminate your lawsuit risk from Apple and you sell to a growing market of people who hate Apple's cables.
