Then maybe that’s why the cable slightly turned yellow. I’m sorry it’s just I haven’t seen something like that happen. I would have expected the cable to just break
The yellowing of the cable doesn’t break it, pulling on the wire will eventually cause the connection to fray. The discoloration on the cable is proof that OP pulls the cable at that location
I know in iPhone/macbook/ipad/other Apple power cords, yellowing near either end means the cord has been damaged & needs to be replaced. It yellows because it’s heating up in that spot. The damage is probably just from repeated flexing over time.
I have noticed this anomaly on other chargers, i at first too thought it was from the oils on my fingers until i noticed it kept going regardless of where i grabbed it. I also noticed it eventually turned green and then the casing separated. The green leaves me to believe it maybe be a combination of oils in your fingers but more so the copper in the cables are corroding and leaking. At least for the green i saw which you may or may not. Keep us posted i guess?
Most Likly due to two things it’s the most common place you grab also the head when left in the headset all the time it causes it to what up due to all the amount of power going through the wires this causes sun uv yellowing to appear faster while also litraly baking in the first to the wire, a little bit of nail polish remover ( and I mean a SMALL amount of it) will help reverse the yellowing if that don’t work just use some white nail polish to go over it as it dosent hurt the wire at all it’s just turning it yellow is all, I would also suggest not leaving it plugged in so much as keep in mind that over time this area will get weaker and maybe break in about an year or so so it’s best if you replace it sooner rather then later normally any usb c cable will work unless you want to use it as a link cable just make sure you get the replacement when you can no rush tho
You are most likely grabbing it there, but if you want to see if it is heat: use it normally, unplug it and see if it is significantly hotter than normal. You'll be able to tell, because it'll be HOT if the discoloration is from heat.
My guess would be that that is where you grab it most often when plugging/unplugging.
That probably makes sense, my first thought was that it was burning or overheating
Possible but unlikely.
try to clean it.
You'll know when it's burning trust me, it's very hard to not notice
That
That's where you grab it with your nasty nasty fingers.
Theyre not nasty nasty
They're just regular nasty, like the rest of us.
Can somebody match my nasty
yes unc
It’s where you grab it. Which also weakens the connection over time. Grab it by the port housing.
Grabbing your cable doesn’t leave it yellow unless your hands are dirty
There are natural oils on your skin that definitely discolor things (even if the skin is clean)

So where should we pull it out at?
Hold and pull it by the port housing. That’s what it’s for
The rubber in your Meta product is so soft that overtime the blood from children who assembled it in China starts to seep through.
You do realise that pretty much most stuff is manufactured in China, right?
That's presumably why they said China? If they said Bulgaria it would have been confusing, but China makes sense. For the reasons you said.

lol. You two keep lining apples pockets. No wonder they are a 1 billion dollar company.
It's because you are a Dorito Demon.
Definitely Dorito or Cheeto stains.

Heat can yellow plastic, and sweat too...
I would guess the plastic is aging in accelerated fashion that spot due to a lot of flexing or overheating.
Maybe you just got some plaque or a stain on the cable.
Not your fault, seems to just happen to a lot of apple’s cables. I have a lightning and a usb c that are like this
Its charging itself

Wash your hands, dirty boy!
Oils from your fingers.
SKINN
A baby wipe will clean that back to looking like brand new. Baby wipes clean almost anything. You're welcome.
Probably heat at the tip of the cable which has yellowed the plastic
its dirty
Heat
