Don't throw away your worn out Lightning to USB cable (insulation fix and customization)
After years of use my Lighting to USB cable insulation is starting to deteriorate, instead of throwing it away, I've decided to turn it into a YouTube content video and perhaps extent is life until Apple finally comes out with a new connector and hopefully this video earns enough views for me to buy the new iPhone. :P For this cable build I went with the usual double sleeving using Paracord and braided PET sleeve, for the connector, I tried using Mini XLR as I find the GX16 a bit bulky. I also added an FAQ towards the end of the video. Also played around with the background music, instead of the usual up-beat sound, I've opted to try soothing music this time.
