    I may be stupid.

    But I have no idea how people are comparing “better” or “worse” cables. I always just assumed they were just cables.

    Edit: for people downvoting me, I’m not saying they are just cables, I’m just saying I don’t know what the difference is, and asking for an explanation. Please calm down.

      There are different dimensions for this, balance of importance differs between users and application:

      • data transfer rate
      • power transfer rate
      • durability
      • reusability with other products
      • length
      • price
      • someone made it white and engraved a pictogram of an incomplete apple on it

        Don’t worry, apple is still limiting data transfer to usb2 protocols except on the pro models

          Oh I always expect them to find a loop hole to sell their ridiculously expensive peripherals. My best bet is a chip that forces you to use an apple usb c cable.
