Repair iPhone cables with heat shrink tubing

The best way to fix an iPhone cable is with a shrink tube. You only need the shrink tube and a lighter. You can order shrink sleeves cheaply on the Internet. Some electronics stores and hardware stores also offer these. Then just follow the steps below:

1. First, see how far the cable break has progressed. If necessary, carefully pull the cable into a straight position so that you can attach the heat shrink well.
2. Now cut off a piece of heat shrink tubing. This should be slightly larger than the point at which the cable is broken.
3. Now pull the shrink tube over the cable break. Make sure that it is not too small and completely covers the cable break.
4. Now carefully heat the piece of shrink tubing one after the other from all sides. Handle the flame with care and take your time to avoid damaging the cable. The shrink tube contracts and encloses the cable break.
5. Then cut a piece of shrink tubing again. This should be about half the length of the first piece.
6. Now pull the shrink tube over the previously repaired area. The ends should now go further than the first piece. You can also include the respective interface with this larger piece.
7. Now carefully reheat the hose and make sure that it lies carefully around the repaired area.
8. Then check that everything is tight. If so, you're done at this point.
