Charging lead

[Sharmarty]

Hi all. Having a nightmare with now on my 4th charging lead. They all have stopped charging after a few months. I am in the UK and hoping to get some answers where I can get a reliable charging lead for iPad mini 5th gen ( have already used 2 Apple leads)
Thanks

Genuine Apple cables are very reliable and I would suggest you get one from an Apple Store in Uk if you are having problems.

Are you abusing the lead by pulling on the wire instead of the plastic connector to unplug it?

Unfortunately, I have already used 2 genuine ones in the last 2 years.

Strange, I’ve used several Apple cables (and lots of others) on my iPhone and iPad mini.
Maybe try an Amazon Basics cable, they’re normally good. The braided ones are nice.

Edit: Have a good look inside the charging socket on your iPad to make sure there’s no dirt/foreign objects in there?

Are you using these cables with a genuine Apple/approved charger?

Another thing is to try using your charger and cable on another device if you can.
