“Checkmate, bureaucrats!”

Lmfao you seriously think governments should be making laws about phone chargers? Don't they have better things to do?

How about just don't buy the product if you don't like it?

Bahahahajajajaha

No, however if they gimp the general high quality USBC cable in favor of their cables, it’s obvious it’s gimped because iPhone power draw really isn’t that great against a 100w standard.

Oh no. I’ll have to pay like $6 more for a cable to do ultra fast charging. Oh wait you already have to do that with most usbc cables for any sort of good PD numbers.

Because we don’t live in a weird Reddit echo chamber that makes everything they do seem like the end of the world. It’s like asking why people prefer bmw to Honda.

So it's not every cable?

I'd rather use a kvm switch for USB and switch the monitors manually. 10th of the price, and 10x as reliable plus 2 monitors. Now when I can run three monitors through this we're talking.

Ok but it will still support cables with the base layer USB-C charging standard at the usual USB C rate the article goes on to say. So if you want to pay more for an even faster apple cable you can, or just go with the likely fast enough USB C standard rate.

Poor guy’s Google Pixelbook finally took one for the team.

Bros on reddit saying this shit

That's a Thunderbolt 4 cable 🤦🏻‍♂️

Quality Thunderbolt cables are all expensive dude. These are not smartphone cables made for charging and passing family photos, these are workstation cables.

Go look at OWC, CalDigit prices for the same lengths. Hell, Plugable still sells Thunderbolt 3 cables for 60€, and that's a generation old.

You are looking for this: Apple Type-C Cable, £19

I guess we all forgot that a few years ago USB-C cables were hit or miss to the point where a Google engineer had to make a spreadsheet ranking them.

So what is this then? Last time I checked £129 > £100 therefore £100+.

Imagine looking down on other people for using a different object than you use.

Brings me back to my early teenage years, when I was taking part to console wars. Sadly for your cerebral development now we are adults.

They are not copying android because android as an operating system allows fast charging from any source. Stop saying "android" as if it's a brand that makes phones or something.

The rest of your rant is just putting words in my mouth and not worth responding to. Just know that apple couldn have copied screens or cameras from android because android has no screens nor cameras

weird how apple stole capacitive touchscreens, high resolution displays, multiple cameras and pretty much everything from android but hey, have one bad feature available in hundreds thousands of phones that they copied and NOO, they're not really copying android this time, just a few models that have this feature, so definitely not all of android 🤣 weird how that works

so android doing it first then

They make great products, so the answer will be: no.

Put the crack pipe down.

• Apple doesn't sell, never has sold, 100€ cables. They cost ⅕th of that price.

• Made For iPhone certified cables can be so cheap even Amazon Basics sells them.

Criticize all you want but don't make up stuff for easy karma.

No. Stuff like SuperVOOC or WARP charge has nothing to do with cable quality. It's simply a proprietary standard lock-in, and you can tell by the fact that the other side of the Type-C cable is an old USB-A.

Use the best Type-C you can find and you still won't have access to it.
