What rock did Dana Wollman crawl out from under? I see why I don't visit that site on a frequent basis. 

It's not battery powered, is it? So a power cord is going to follow along behind it? Guaranteed, my spouse would give a big thumbs down to that arrangement (not to mention the price tag).

I know a fair number of people with the Apple Watch, and none of us have had this problem. We know it happens, but there are tens of millions of these watches out there. If it was a really serious problem we would have heard more about it.

Same here, I've had no such problem with my two and the half-dozen friends with Apple Watches have not complained. I don't see any way this could possibly reach class-action status.

Glenn Fleishman wrote a similar article on TidBits.com back on the 20th and also suggested Quad9 for consideration (9.9.9.9 and 149.112.112.112).

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.
