I’m interested to know what fast charging is here. Anything over 5w like the ones we had for ages? Also want to know if Apple will cap the speeds if using the £100+ cables they already sell.

Put the crack pipe down.

  • Apple doesn't sell, never has sold, 100€ cables. They cost ⅕th of that price.

  • Made For iPhone certified cables can be so cheap even Amazon Basics sells them.

Criticize all you want but don't make up stuff for easy karma.

So what is this then? Last time I checked £129 > £100 therefore £100+.

That's a Thunderbolt 4 cable 🤦🏻‍♂️

Quality Thunderbolt cables are all expensive dude. These are not smartphone cables made for charging and passing family photos, these are workstation cables.

Go look at OWC, CalDigit prices for the same lengths. Hell, Plugable still sells Thunderbolt 3 cables for 60€, and that's a generation old.

You are looking for this: Apple Type-C Cable, £19

Yeah I know all of that. I know they are expensive, I know they aren’t for most users, I know thunderbolt 3 cables are still expensive and not needed for most people.

But… like I said, Apple sell £100+ cables and I’m wondering if cables like that will be restricted to slower charging.
