The current state of Apple is symbolized by the un ending rip off and hazzard that is the charging cord and lightening connector. Please if you can my dear user name me one other electronic product cable of the last 50 years that fails and fails within months. There is no other as this problem was solved decades ago. Only apple has this problem and it continues year after year. $40 per cable F u Apple

Nonsense. My cables last years because I don't trash them. And they cost $20. Even Anker's newest Lightning cable is only $3 cheaper. Big whoop.

A couple years back my experiment MonoPrice and Amazon cables both fell apart fairly quickly tho -- the plug assemblies came apart. Never happened with any of my Apple cables. 

Bah nonsense 
so you claim I’m using  the cable wrong. 
I call bullshit. 
I use the cable. Period. 
No other cable has experienced this failure on any device in my near 5o years. 
 It has never occurred on anything ever but an Apple product and this has happened continually since my first iPhone v1. 
So spare us defending the most valuable company on Earth who somehow can’t make a power cord that doesn’t fray. 

LOL.  You created a screen name based solely on the fact that you mistreat your Apple cable and want to whine about it?

My family has owned at least 20 iPods, iPads, and iPhones over the years.  Most of those cables are still working fine.  Have I replaced some?  Not that I recall, but perhaps one or two.  It certainly hasn't been a big deal.

Why do people here jump to the conclusion that people who have trouble with failing cables are mistreating them? Why do you assume your experience is typical and his is unusual? Why is any complaint "whining?"

I don't have a lot of trouble with Apple cables either, but I'm not so arrogant as to assume my experience extends to everyone else.

If someone said "I bought an Apple device a few months ago, and the cable has already failed despite my not abusing it," that would be a reasonably post.  And people would likely respond with "that's bad luck; that has/hasn't been my experience."

But that's not what Frayed Cable said.  "Please if you can my dear user name me one other electronic product cable of the last 50 years that fails and fails within months."  And "No other cable has experienced this failure on any device in my near 5o years. 
 It has never occurred on anything ever but an Apple product and this has happened continually since my first iPhone v1.

That's clearly propaganda BS.  In 50 years(!) the only cable that fails him have been Apple cables, and it's every Apple cable he's every owned.  There are only two ways to explain that statement: 1. he abuses his cables (since no one else experiences 100% failure rate) or 2. he's a lying troll.

[...] Sorry but FaceID is more expensive than TouchID

Is it? We don't actually know that, do we? For all we know, Face ID may cost Apple less than Touch ID.

And this statement is total BS unless you have someone working inside Apple that has internal knowledge they're willing to share about the exact costs of Face ID vs Touch ID...
