I may be stupid.

But I have no idea how people are comparing "better" or "worse" cables. I always just assumed they were just cables.

Edit: for people downvoting me, I'm not saying they are just cables, I'm just saying I don't know what the difference is, and asking for an explanation. Please calm down.

power transfer rate
durability
reusability with other products
length
price

Don't worry, apple is still limiting data transfer to usb2 protocols except on the pro models

Oh I always expect them to find a loop hole to sell their ridiculously expensive peripherals. My best bet is a chip that forces you to use an apple usb c cable.
