Chris, you’re correct, that power s very low. The voltage is maybe
+ or - 5V and even the power leads carrying the phone charging juice
carry a small amount and the current is quite low. No shocks there,
not even with wet hands I don’t think.

Ben,
I highly doubt you would a gotten shocked, as normally the voltage
transferred via USB is very very small, plus with the number of
amps, it would be very unlikely. Now, disclaimer! that said? I
never said not to be careful! If you felt uneasy attempting to
use the cord, then yes. It was probably best that you didn't. I
never said there wouldn't be that one in a million time chance
you'd get zizzied.

Okay, I have not seen it happen in a couple of months, but the
cable which originally came with my old iPhone Five did degrade
to the point at which I was scared that I'd get shocked or it'd
mess up the phone in some way. The chord to my iPhone Six S
hasn't seemed to do that yet, but I'm paranoid due to my previous
experience. Chris, you may have an aberration, but Apple does
need to rethink the Lightning chords, if they want to maintain
their proprietary ways.

OK, I wonder if anyone else is having, or has had this problem.
Over the years, I've bought quite a few devices that use
lightning cables. Anything from my old IPhone 5, 5S, 6Plus, 6S,
a few Apple TV 4's, etc.
Point is, after about 2 or 3, if I'm lucky, months roughly, it
seems like the end of the insolation right where the lightning
connector is that goes into the device, that area seems to keep
getting cut/torn. Usually it's not so bad that the cable stops
working, but it's bad enough that it definitely has the
potential that at any moment, it could get worse. I have one
cable now which is almost 98% sebbered all the way through both
the insolation and the actual wire itself. It's pretty
pathetic. It seems like most all my cables eventually are
getting to this point, and I swear, I'm not misusing them. I'm
just plugging them in, and unplugging them as normal.
Apparently, I'm by far not the first person who's had this
issue. If you just Google online, you'll find lots of forums
and blogs, etc. of people who've had the same issue quite
regularly. So apparently, it must not be just me.
Is it just these things are really badly designed? I'm on hold
right now waiting for Apple to pick up to see if maybe they can
replace a few of these chords, but I'm not very hopeful. They
might, but I'm not counting on it.
I'm just wonderring if any of you guys have also found your
cables tearing, getting cut, or worse on a consistent basis
right at the tip of the cord like I am. If so, what are you all
doing to get around this, so you don't have to keep buying cord
after cord after cord every few months. This alone is starting
to make me reconsider iOS devices. At least, ones with
lightning connecters.
Lightning's great, but the cords appear to be crap in my opinion
based soly on what I so far have observed. Again, that's stated
as an opinion, not a fact. Keep that in mind.
Chris.
