It very much comes down to how you use them. Within my household, I don’t think I’ve ever had an Apple cable go bad. However I’ve had third party bad from purchase, and my teens go through cables every 6-12 months.

What kind of abuse do your cables go through?

do you pull from the hard plastic or the cable?
are they on the floor being stepped on or with chairs rolling over them?
when carrying are they just stuffed in your backpack or neatly rolled up in a plastic pocket or in a baggie?
when tangled, do you just pull harder or do you untangle?
