Why Is Apple's USB-C Cable $130?
youtu.be
Apple's new Thunderbolt 4 USB-C cable costs a staggering $130, more than ten times the price of a generic USB-C cable. But what's the difference between Thun...

The comparison is between Apple’s $130 USB-C vs Amazon Basics $12 USB-C vs generic $3 USB-C.

I have my doubts that audiophile branded USB cables are anywhere near as sophisticated as Apple’s high dollar cable.

Would you be willing to pay nearly 50 times more for Apple’s cable transport your 24/192 audio signal?

    I watched nearly 5 minutes of it, before quitting.

    It’s amazing an disingenuous that in the entire time, they never mention it was a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 cable, nor the maximum amount of data the cable can carry, and only the vaguest mention of video, and most importantly, when would a person actually use the cable.

    Which is primarily to move data to and from NAS (network attached storage) or a Thunderbolt dock.

    I guess the target audience are complete idiots that need stuff explained they were 5 years old.
