I may be stupid.

But I have no idea how people are comparing "better" or "worse" cables. I always just assumed they were just cables.

Edit: for people downvoting me, I'm not saying they are just cables, I'm just saying I don't know what the difference is, and asking for an explanation. Please calm down.

There are different dimensions for this, balance of importance differs between users and application:

  • data transfer rate
  • power transfer rate
  • durability
  • reusability with other products
  • length
  • price
  • someone made it white and engraved a pictogram of an incomplete apple on it

Okay, so getting information and energy to and from the phone (what a cable does), how long it lasts, how many different types of cables you'd have to buy to work with similar devices you have, length and price are self explanatory, and whether or not apple is being apple.

I think I got it, thank you!
