<p>If you’ve got a dodgy Apple-branded USB-C cable, you might be able to get a new one for free.</p><p>On Friday, the company announced a new program (http://www.apple.com/support/usbc-chargecable/) to replace the USB-C cables that came with 12-inch MacBooks sold through June 2015. According to the company, these cables can stop working due to a design flaw. As a result, your MacBook may not charge reliably when using a defective cable with a power adapter.</p><figure class="large "><img src="(http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2016/02/apple-usb-c-cable-replacement-100644850-large.png)" alt="apple usb c cable replacement" width="580" height="260"/> <small class="credit">Apple</small> <figcaption>
