To me it is, could just be the guy who wrote it really likes Apple though. Who actually thought the 3 dollar cables were the same as the 140 dollar cable?
I generally never believe a product is worth what apple is charging.
However, I also expect that the spin and salesmanship required to sell a five dollar cable as a 140 dollar cable is beyond even what Apple is willing to do. So I agree 100% it would have been much more interesting to see it compared against say a 40-80 dollar cable.
If he really likes Apple products because they are supposedly superior, why not show that by comparing them to actual Apple competitor products instead of dollar store stuff?
I have a USB-C cable that was around the $40 mark, and it has bulky and robust connectors that likely house some electronics in them. I originally bought it to my mom as a charger/data cable, but she didn't like it, so I use it to occasionally connect my phone to my monitor. It transfers USB and 2.5K video signal without an issue with superfast charging as a bonus, and also braided. Not sure if it would fare at TB4 speeds.
Yeah but honestly, it’s only the very worst cable that the Apple one truly looks good in comparison to. For the other ones, it’s better, yeah. Sure. 5-10 bucks better. Not 110+ better.
