USB-C head-to-head comparison

The reign of the Lightning cable is over, and the USB-C era has begun — leaving us wondering what sets one charger apart from another. We do a teardown of Apple's Thunderbolt 4 and its competitors.

      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.

      I’m not promoting the purchase, but my counterpoints are:

      • Time is money
      • $129 isn’t much to some people

    You can get USB4 40gbps 240w capable usb-c cables from Infinite Cables based in Canada for ~$20 (not a shill, just very very peeved that the article only compared apple’s cable to sub-$10 cables from shady amazon sellers and then acted surprised when they were awful)

    This is actually pretty cool.

    Amazing to see the differences inside of the cables. There’s so much stuff crammed inside of the Apple cable compared to the basic ones.

    It would be nice to see a comparison between two highly featured cables to see if what Apple uses is standard fare or not.

    I know their lightning cables required a small processor for the whole “certified” thing in order for devices to not bring up a little window and let users know that they’re cheap. Wonder if that’s still the case with their USB-C implementation
