Huh, 14 comments in and no one telling me why this is actually good for me yet. Is the mirage finally wearing off?
I rarely buy a cable and the $30 charger at the store I'm already in is cheaper and easier than hunting for a deal or checking that the cable on Amazon is actually trustworthy. Apple certifying the cables for their devices? Sounds good to me.
USB-C is open...for people to mess up. LTT has a good series where they test HDMI cables and quite a number are just crap. https://linustechtips.com/topic/1387053-i-spent-a-thousand-d...
I can never understand the weird stockholder syndrome of Apple users justifying its anti-consumer business practices in the name of convenience and standardisation.
