Comment on EU Warns Apple About Limiting Speeds of Uncertified USB-C Cablesparent

Comments

I wouldn't be against this MFI if it meant we could have cheap, standard conformant cables that aren't bad.

Apple uses MFI as an excuse to overprice compatible cables.

Take a look at USB-C cables. Of course, there will be cheap ones, but even the standard conformant, QC-compatible ones are way cheaper than an Apple-certified cable.

See I don’t understand this argument. I wrote a blog post about this recently where I discuss this at length. But are MFi cables overpriced? It doesn’t seem to be the case.
