The insulating material on Apple USB-to-Lightning cables frequently cracks just beyond the Lightning connector. I've taken three or four back to my local Apple Store over the years and complained about my fear that it will eventually short out and cause a fire. Each cable has been cheerfully replaced without a quibble...clearly the Apple Genius Bar employees have been instructed to replace the cables upon presentation, no matter whether AppleCare is in effect or not. Corporate Apple is leery of cord-failure litigation.

Interestingly, the new USB-C to Lightning cord is heavier and seems less likely to crack; albeit, is also less flexible. 

Apple no longer just replaces them... you have to complain and get a manager.
They've been told now that cables are not part of the guarantee of the phone and are considered expendables like an ink cartridge for a printer.

Delta Express (Skywest) started using iPads a few years ago... my brother was very happy.

I bought a titanium model...

I've met Jim a few times and have made a TON of money off of his cameras (which were also thought to be a scam).

I hate that it's Android - I'm not giving up my iPhone, but if it's JUST a remote for one of their newer cameras, it's already worth it. I suppose they didn't have a choice for the OS.

Jim is a billionaire many times over, so he's not just trying to get a few bucks and disappear. He's a passionate image freak and puts his money and time where his mouth is.

Worst case you get your money back. Red has always offered a no-questions-asked refund on the spot when ordering their products. They go above and beyond what even Apple does for their customers.
