Why didn't they make the post after they made this immense additional investment for more cables? Yeah...it's not useless for their and Apple's marketing department. For everybody else, it is.
You seem way too upset for such a non issue.

The fact that you had to switch over to my person says it all.
I wish they imaged other premium third party cables like cablematters or anker.
My guess is they don't want to bite the hand that feeds them. Seems like the products they sell would be very useful to said companies. Wouldn't want to air any of their dirty laundry, it's PR not a reporting/review perspective.

You could get a 1m Belkin Thunderbolt 4 cable for about $40. Afaik Intel controls/certifies Thunderbolt cables and Apple just has free use of name or something.
So should any Thunderbolt branded cable have similar performance and build quality to the Apple cable, then? Cause I wanted to know the same thing - I came away honestly impressed and thinking maybe I should buy an Apple cable even though I don't own an iPhone. But the real question is whether other vendors have the same quality at a lower price point, because I don't feel the desire to pay the Apple price if they ar…

"Lightning" in "lightning cable" is spelt "lightning" and not "lightening". Lightening is "to make lighter", and "pocket-lightening" likely refers to him/her not liking to spend money on lightning cables or that he/she thinks that they cost more than they are worth.
thanks for still having some will to engage neurons...

Not sure what you mean but instead of taking the site for what it is, just a demo of a scanning device you instead expect a serious review of USB cables which they are clearly not in the business for.

It fails doing that.
PS. my comment said that your previous comment didn't have anything to do with the topic and instead tried to judge me and my feelings.

Not a fan of GALKZ or FRELP? Gotta love those random 5 letter “brands” amazon is covered in these days.
Personally it's become my hobby to read out amazon product titles to annoy my partner and/or coworkers. Even brands I trust more so do this awful keyword stuffing, example: the first result on my amazon for "USB-C": > Anker USB C Charger Cable (6ft 100W, 2Pack), USB 2.0 Type C Fast Charging Cable for iPhone 15 / 15Pro / 15Plus / 15ProMax MacBook Pro 2020, iPad Pro 2020, iPad Air 4, Samsung Galaxy S23+/S23 Ultra It's…
An SEO optimization disaster.

> It should be mandatory that these cables are correctly spec’s and labeled Why doesn’t the USB standards group mandate labeling of some type? Probably not words, but symbols would be good enough.
Why stop a labeling? You could design the connectors to only terminate at another connector that supports the same features, preventing anyone from confusing one cable for another. And the reason we don't do that is because it would expose the lie that there can be a universal data and power connector for all devices, and rather than live in a world where everything can connect perfectly fine with the right cables, w…
It was never promised for ALL devices. Obviously, there are high power applications where type-C connector would melt no matter what you do.
But it's quite obvious that USB-C cables with 40Gbps and 100W power delivery exist. And it's good enough for most devices. At least for now.
I even see 40Gbps cables with 240W PD.

Speaking of USB-C 10 Gbit/s cables, I've noticed something odd about the iPhone 15 Pro: I have a USB-C cable that has been yielding 10 Gbit/s speeds (i.e. USB 3 Gen 2x1 or possibly but very unlikely 1x2) when used at my Mac with various devices (mostly SSDs). However, that same cable only gets USB 2 speeds when connecting the iPhone to my Mac. The iPhone itself also seems to only get USB 2 speeds using the SSD and th…
