This is actually pretty cool.

Amazing to see the differences inside of the cables. There’s so much stuff crammed inside of the Apple cable compared to the basic ones.

It would be nice to see a comparison between two highly featured cables to see if what Apple uses is standard fare or not.

I know their lightning cables required a small processor for the whole “certified” thing in order for devices to not bring up a little window and let users know that they’re cheap. Wonder if that’s still the case with their USB-C implementation
