Damaged iPhone 5s and iPad Air charger replacement

[KingBuick]

My iPhone 5s and iPad Air Lightning USB cables (not the wall adapters) are almost dead. They came with my iPhone and iPad when I got them in November and December. I am nowhere near an Apple Store but I will be next weekend. Will the Apple Store replace the cables for free since the iPhone and iPad are still under warranty (no Apple care) or will I be better off just getting new cables at Best Buy or the Verizon Store?

If the cable doesn't work, the iPhone warranty covers it.

If it has physical damage, the warranty doesn't cover that.

I would never want to contradict Karencoulter, however, ...

Technically, the cables are not covered just like brake pads are not covered under a car warranty. However, if you're nice and polite at the Apple Store, they will often give them to you for free anyway assuming the device is under warranty.

They are covered under the iOS device warranty. The Genius Bar will swap them.
