iPad Pro and iPad Now Include Woven USB-C Cable, Also Sold Separately

Anyone know what transfer speeds this usb-c cable is capable of?

And what wattage can they charge up to? Honestly never knew there were different 60 and 100w ones until recently

These things get super dirty btw

Yep, seen the same over time too. All of those little crevices act like cavities in a sponge. At least you can clean traditional cables with alcohol.

Ikea has woven USB-C cables for $6.99. Apple one must be woven with Tim Cook's mane.

Apple already sells color-matched woven USB-C to Lightning cables with the newer iMacs:

New M1 iMacs come with color-matched braided USB-C to Lightning cable​

and also with individual magic keyboard/mouse/trackpad

Wonder if this does video out too

I’m tempted to get one because honestly the cheap ones you get off Amazon can be so unreliable the price difference is just not worth it.

No, you need a USB-C cable that specifically supports DisplayPort.

I love how here we get an improved more durable cable, and then we look at the new AppleTV where they can't include any cable at all. Such a conflicting strategy. Both products require a cable to function. The iPad obviously needs it to charge and the AppleTV remote also needs it to charge. Your AppleTV isn't much use without a remote.

You can use an Apple TV with your iPhone; no need for a remote. One does need a cable to charge an iPad.

I wish Apple made those

My secondary monitor is a USB-C monitor and it likes to randomly power cycle. I thought it was defective but it happens much more frequently with one cable which leads me to believe no brand cables are just trash

A no-brand cable can fry your device in a split second. No joke, they sometimes switch data with power and the you’re putting 100w through a tiny, tiny wire. There was a google-engineer on youtube that tested all kinds of cables from Amazon, Alibaba etc. One of those fried is testing equipment and laptop.

So I for one will buy good cables and chargers only. Apple, Belkin, Anker. I’m working with a € 3000+ bucks laptop or a € 2200 iPad. Why would I want to save money on a cheap cable that is €25?

Does anybody know if Apple is selling this cable? I have been checking their website but can't seem to find it...
