    Now you can join the rest of the world and pay much less for cables

    The USB-C cables I just bought were not any cheaper than my lightning cables. In fact, I think they were actually a bit more expensive.

    and chargers

    This makes no sense, lightning cables always worked with ordinary usb chargers.

        Those are 58% off right now, their regular price is $10. The regular price for Monoprice lightning cables is also $10. Right now i can see a three pack of 6 foot lightning cables on Amazon for $8.40, or $2.80 per cable.

        I also spent a lot more on some of my USB-C cables because i wanted them to support 3.1 speeds. That costs a lot if you only go for USB-IF certified cables, which you probably should if you’re plugging them in to anything expensive.

          Ok, I’m just going to stop talking to you because you have no idea about the differences between cables. Your Amazon link is for USB A-to-Lightning cables (which charge slowly because it’s USB A) and the brand name is “Tryeah”.

          And you are comparing them to my nylon braided Monoprice cord with a lifetime warranty? I can see why you paid too much for cables. I was just trying to help you but you’ve got to be right. Enjoy your “Tryeah” brand cables.
