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.
Edit: I'll take your silence as to an alternative but equivalent cable as evidence no such cable exists as of yet.
The cheapest is $39 made by Acasis : And it’s actually certified, contrary to Apple’s.
And before you say Apple doesn’t have to, yes they do and they have some of their other products certified.
This means that Apple’s cable might be breaking Thunderbolt 4´s interface. For this price point and such engineering wanking, this is ridiculous.
