The thing is Apple IS ripping them off!
"additional parts provide better power quality and improved safety in the real charger; this is part of the reason genuine chargers are significantly more expensive"
is not really true, those additional parts add maybe $10 to the BOM.
$80 for $20 worth of charger, $30 for $2 cable, you are being screwed on every single Apple branded accessory.
- ChrisDutrow 11y agoI was thinking they were like $40. $80 sounds a little steep. I see some non-Apple branded chargers on Amazon Prime for around $40. I wonder if those chargers have the high quality electronics in them since they are from companies that are trying to develop a good name for producing accessories? The Apple accessory that I feel is worth the money is their $30 ear buds. I use ear buds a lot. You can get decent ones for $15-$20, but I think the apple ones are worth $30.
