My 2018 iPad Pro cable didn't come with a cable with stress relief, the new AW series 7 charging puck doesn't, and I think even the MagSafe cable with the new MacBook pro's doesn't have it, sooo we shall see how they are holding up. I mean, yeah, the cable usually breaks right after the stress relief so it might not even make a difference, but cables without it just seem so much flimsy. What I find funny, u know the stress relief (the larger piece of rubber right at the connector), why apple even chooses to get rid of it entirely). And I've seen so many of those adapters fails (9/10 it was the cable) because people would wrap them so tightly around the adapter, which over time put so much stress on the (admittedly already small and ridiculous) stress relief that the cable would eventually fray or break entirely. If you are familiar with the old MagSafe power adapters (the ones where you could unfold two plastic clips that what allow the cable to be wrapped around nice and tightly, they had the cable directly integrated with the power supply, so when the cable failed on either end you had to swap the entire 80 dollar adapter. Maybe also if the cable has been exposed to environments where people where smoking or something like that (I know I have, but my cables usually where fine tho). I think yellowness mostly develops because of dirt and oils from hands getting on the cable and maybe over time becoming one with the rubber. Keep cables loose and avoid any unnecessary taughtness and bending and kinking. On the old one, it broke exactly in the same spot. Can you see the bend in the new cable? I know, it doesn't seem like much, and any cable should withstand this, but this is exactly the kind of bending that ultimately makes the cable fail, if it is done thousands of times.
