    If you think a cable is worth $129 then you’re exactly the type of fucking moron that Apple preys on lol

      You clearly did not read the article or the discussion.

      Your blind hatred for Apple and its market doesn’t make you smart or well informed.

        I read the article and I don’t get your point. The article is comparing a supercar to some junkyard beaters and trying to make that somehow a fair comparison.

        End of the day, no the $129 price tag isn’t worth it. And you should know that as well, because that’s literally Apple’s business model (get them with the accessories). Yeah, it’s a nice cable that can do some cool shit, but it’s mostly feature bloat to explain away the ridiculous price.

          Cool story. Show me this equivalent cable. I would guess it’s an easily $50+ – most people have no use for expensive cables.

              So the cheapest version of this cable is actually $69. Didn’t feel the need to point it out until now because I saw no point in quibbling over the actual price point.

              Edit: I’ll take your silence as to an alternative but equivalent cable as evidence no such cable exists as of yet.

                The cheapest is $39 made by Acasis : And it’s actually certified, contrary to Apple’s.

                And before you say Apple doesn’t have to, yes they do and they have some of their other products certified.

                This means that Apple’s cable might be breaking Thunderbolt 4´s interface. For this price point and such engineering wanking, this is ridiculous.

        You can get same quality thunderbolt cables that are constructed 100% the same way for under 25 bucks

          Clent clearly paid $129 for a cable and isn’t happy at me 😂

            I have no need for that cable, but unlike you I’m not ignorant in realizing some do and why they do.

      I’m not promoting the purchase, but my counterpoints are:

      • Time is money
      • $129 isn’t much to some people
