Why do they break so quickly? null

How they are handled has a lot to do with how long they last. They contain fine wires that cannot tolerate a lot of bending, and certainly very little sharp bending. When putting the cord into loops for storage or transport, let it loop naturally (do not twist it in a direction it does not want to go by itself) and keep the loop at a fairly large diameter, six inches or so.

I haven't had issues with the insignia because it's a thicker cord

the apple product is the one break easily.

There are differences in the quality of the cables. I've found that buying them in-store gives you the ability to compare cables and then buy the thicker, more heavy duty cable.

I believe that its just that people treat their cables really rough, because I have the original lightning cable that my iPhone came with 3 years ago and it is not broken at all,

The cable is not designed for heavy and abusive use. The wire inside is thin. The price reflects the products durability. Apple OEM equipment will last longer but does cost more.
