Apple's $130 USB Cable--Is It Worth It?

(1/2) > >>

Scooter123:
Apple's $130 USB C Cable.  Yep, $130 for 2 meters, as opposed to $12 for a similar Amazon Basic's cable or $3 for a budget cable

grawk:
a thunderbolt cable isn’t a usb c cable, for one

Scooter123:
It can be.  Depends on what its connected to on the other end.  My iPhones all have thunderbolt cables, but with a USB C going into the computer or charger. 

daspyknows:
Not unless Steve Jobs used it.

Sounds like you are confusing Thunderbolt and Lightning ("very very frightening") connectors. No iPhone has a Thunderbolt connector, iPhones 5 through 14 have a Lightning connector, iPhone 15 has a USB-C.
