A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Do you have any real world experience with these cables? The material is shit. It gets stiff and brittle with time and ends up breaking regardless of how much you pamper it.
Yes, I do? Maybe I did just get lucky - but the lightning cable that came with my 6S just recently died after a decade.
It’s sole purpose was to sit at my computer desk to allow me to charge while working from home, in the end there was no splitting or fraying of the cable - it just stopped charging. 🤷🏻♂️
I’ve also still got my Xs and 14 Pro cables, but have largely switched to Qi2 in preparation for upgrading to the 18 Pro.
That puncutation is pretty sus. But yes, assuming that this is your experience, you did get lucky. I've seen this issue all the time. Apple used a stiff cable that meets with a hard plastic cable guard. The part where the cable meets the connector always breaks. I've seen this problem with literally ever few-year-old apple cable. The cable design is intentionally awful.
Wireless charging is no upgrade. It less efficient, slower, and slightly increases wear on the battery.
