The reign of the Lightning cable is over, and the USB-C era has begun — leaving us wondering what sets one charger apart from another. We do a teardown of Apple's Thunderbolt 4 and its competitors.
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.
I know a shocking number of people who think they’re just as good, and they can’t be convinced otherwise!
