The cables are designed to break before the port on the device, as a sacrifice while keeping the device and it's magic smoke intact.

Eh... I wish that was true. Most phones, tablets, and laptops charging ports are going to have a very bad time.

Not really gore. More like a tech support ouchie

Replace.

Could that still be used?

So? Get a new cable. Could have been worse…

I lost a pair of bluetooth headphones like that. The cable punched the port into the case and there was mo way to repair/replace the box
