Despite this, Apple apparently continued to sell this defective product - at least through 2017.Buying a new iPhone can be an exciting experience, but it can be frustrating not to get everything you need in the box. I much favor a modular configuration that allows separation of the charger from the charger cable, and so I took my old charger to the Apple store & left it with them.įinally, you may be interested to know that the deterioration of Apple's MagSafe charging cable is (was?) the subject of a class-action lawsuit. I considered repairing the original supply/charger, but my cable was also suffering a gross decomposition of the outer insulator.

Like others, I don't like to see eWaste wind up in the landfill. I've been using this cable with an 87 W (and a 96 W) charger to power my late-2011 17" MBP for several months now, and have no complaints - it has worked perfectly so far. You can buy a MagSafe adapter cable that works with Apple's newer (USB C) chargers.

If you're still making the connection with the adapter, there's no reason to change. Yellowing of the plastic has nothing to do with performance - it has to do with UV exposure to the plastic. If your charger still works and is safe you have no reason to change it. The cable has become more and more yellow, and the plugs are slightly bent out of shape, although it still works. My 60W MagSafe 1 charger (L-shape) has had some parts of the outer cable torn (half of it covered in electrical tape). It's not a hard and fast rule (unfortunately, too many people believe it is). The "1000 cycles" is just a marketing estimate of how many types you can charge cycle the battery so you can estimate (budget) for battery replacement. Batteries generally have a useful life of 3 to 5 years. You are definitely several standard deviations from the norm on the right side bell curve that represents charge cycles and battery life. My battery over the years has underwent 2000+ cycles, and can only last at most 2-3 hrs from 100% to 0% currently
