What the Heck Is That? Ordinary Things That Look Insane Microscopic!

Old iPhone Cables Hide a Tech Jungle

Slice through a 30-pin iPhone cable and zoom in, and you’ll feel like you’re stumbling into a microscopic construction site. The cut end reveals a tangle of copper strands, plastic insulation, and tiny wires grouped in neat bundles—each with an important role to play.

Some handle power, others pass data, and a few just help everything stay grounded. The scissor cut itself leaves behind warped metal and stretched insulation, like a tech version of a frayed rope. It’s not just one wire—it’s a whole system squished into a skinny white cord. It’s a little messy up close but still cleverly packed.
