Comment on USB-C teardown with CT scans: Thunderbolt and more
chuckleslord@lemmy.world 8 months agoI 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.

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

So the cheapest version of this cable is actually $69. Didn’t feel the need to point it out until now because I saw no point in quibbling over the actual price point.
