Do you consider Apple a reputable vendor? Becuase https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MLL82AM/A/usb-c-charge-cable-2-m https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MLL82AM/A/usb-c-charge-ca... handles power and USB 2 only. No USB 3, no Thunderbolt, no HDMI, no DisplayPort.
As far as I can tell, the advice should probably actually be "Buy high end Thunderbolt 3 cables from a reputable vendor."
- fzzzy 9y agoThe decision by Apple to only sell a "charge cable" is one of the most baffling things to me. What on earth are they thinking?
- coldtea 9y agoOffering it a cheaper price for one of the most common uses where people need > 1 cables (one for home/office etc)? Or the fact that's very easy to just buy another one for data/video etc? I guess the standard could do with some color coding, but it's not like its the end of the world. Or worth it to have N different connector technologies just so we can differentiate what does what.
- daxelrod 9y agoI can see why they sell the cheaper charge cable. But why in the world don't they also sell an Apple-branded Thunderbolt 3 cable?
