I’m not promoting the purchase, but my counterpoints are:
- Time is money
- $129 isn’t much to some people

If you think a cable is worth $129 then you’re exactly the type of fucking moron that Apple preys on lol

You clearly did not read the article or the discussion.
Your blind hatred for Apple and its market doesn’t make you smart or well informed.

You can get same quality thunderbolt cables that are constructed 100% the same way for under 20 bucks

Clent clearly paid $129 for a cable and isn’t happy at me 😂
Clent@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I have no need for that cable, but unlike you I’m not ignorant in realizing some do and why they do.

100% the same way? Doubt it. Of similar (or better) quality and function? Absolutely.
Clent@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You didn’t read the article either.

I read the article and I don’t get your point. The article is comparing a supercar to some junkyard beaters and trying to make that somehow a fair comparison.
End of the day, no the $129 price tag isn’t worth it. And you should know that as well, because that’s literally Apple’s business model (get them with the accessories). Yeah, it’s a nice cable that can do some cool shit, but it’s mostly feature bloat to explain away the ridiculous price.
Clent@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Cool story. Show me this equivalent cable. I would guess it’s an easily $50+ – most people have no use for expensive cables.

Note that $50 < $129. By like a lot
