I understand it's more expensive. But we're not talking about the delta between a Toyota and a Ferrari. It's not 6 or 7 figures. We're talking, relatively, pennies. Unless it's a one-done-and-toss it type of usage then it doesn't matter. Otherwise cutting corners on such things to save a couple of coffees is foolish. There are better ways to save.
The last thing the world needs is more cheap shit in landfills. USB-C will be around for a while, especially now that Apple has been forced to go USB-C. Cheap shit cables simply don't make sense at this point.
Well, Toyota vs Ferrarri is probably better than 10x.
Here we're talking pretty close to 10x - $4 per charge-only cable vs $30 for a 100W 40 Gbps Thunderbolt cable - which will be obsolete for top notch operation in 3 years if not sooner....
And given the thickness of those full-service cable... are we talking about more or less material eventually going to landfill?
Why the downvotes? Were they by iDiot? I own many apple products. What I'm writing here is true. The iPhone 15 uses the 22-yr old USB 2.0 protocol. On purpose. iDiots will be iDiots I guess.
Just wait til you see that your expensive OLED TV still uses USB 2.0.
the iphone 15 (non-pro) is usb 2.0 from our lord's glorious year of 2000o joke i'm afraid (or is it?)he iphone 15 pro / pro max is usb 3.1 from the year 2013his cable appears to be usb 2.0. 22-year-old standardust like the brand new iphoneutting edge stuff there!
Apple iPhone 15 usb-c slow? or just slow for a usb-c cable? Can it reach 10gbs?
USB-C cables only need USB 2.0 speeds (480 mbps) to be compliant. Assume a cable that doesn't advertise data transfer rate is meant for charging and not [super] speed data transfer.

USB 3 is not a speed. 480 mbps fully compliant because USB 3 describes interoperability.
When you hear garbage like "USB 3.2 2x2" it is because usage of the correct terms (40 Gbps Superspeed in this case) requires actual conformance testing that they work properly.
The joke is that apple always "innovates" by finally adding features to their products that everyone else has already done a long time ago. And then their customers always act like it's revolutionary while us normal folk just roll our eyes. I have a friend like this, and I'm sure many others here have friends like this as well.
You mean like airpods? First they hate, then they copy.
Doesn't the wattage refer the the power source not the cable ?
Yeah I assume it means it can carry up to 100w if it's plugged into a 100w source. Some cables only support lesser wattage so that when you plug it into a higher wattage source it's only capable of as much as the cord can carry.

Sorry. I can't read any of this. The green bubble around it is just too stupid and distracting
Consider how many Apple cables I have to replace with USB-C cables, picked up 10 USB-C cables from Temu for $1.10 per cable (3' and 6')
Given they are all made in China, I rather save some money & buy directly! https://www.temu.com/39-37-78-74-...3fx90im4sh

Probably because of your attitude and calling people idiots may get you some downvotes.
It's known by many products especially cables to only have usb 2.0 support to cut down in cost which normal iPhone 15 users will prefer. The majority of people who buy the normal iPhone 15 will not be using it for wired data transferred. Ever since iCloud backup has been available it's been obsolete. Even if I needed to transfer files to my pc I use an app that has wifi support.
People who are more serious about data will end up getting the pro that supports usbc gen 3.2.

100w 10gbps cables are like 4x this price if not more for a single cable. How will a charger end up in a landfill due to transfer speeds? It's still usable ad a charger. You're inventing fake scenarios to win an argument you're having with yourself. It's not a good look.

No need for name calling.
