Where I work, the only cable and charger we actually buy new from aliexpress and keep in stock are Lightning cables and Magsafe chargers. This is because there is constant and high demand for both, and because we almost never get a working one in. All the ones people drop off for recycling, with or without the things they came with, don't work.

e: we charge $10 for cables and $45 for chargers and they both last longer than the apple ones. lol.

would you mind linking the magsafe charger you buy?

actually you probably have these backwards. monoprice cables don't fall apart like the apple ones.

everything and everyone pretty much sucks at best buy, but it does give you an opportunity to get a holy piece of hardware on day 1

tbh "i've had to drop $300 on power supplies because they keep breaking" is a pretty big complaint. unless the apple store will just throw a new one at you if you bring the old one in in which case I need to run to the apple store to get one replaced right now.

also if you need a new lighting cable amazon's lighting cables are the bomb.

yeah they do just that I got a free one one for a frayed cable 3 years after purchase.
