This has been previously mentioned on macrumours although not widely discussed. For iPhone 15 Pro Max owners who are looking for a charing cable with the max 10Gbps transfer speed, what option did you go for?

I've bought 6 different usb-c 3.2 gen 2 cables and NONE fit the Apple FineWoven case port cutout - they are always too wide. Is there no 3.2 cable that actually fits it?
 
Are you sure Apple cable is USB-C gen 3.2 before you suggesting to OP?
The usb-c cable they sell isn't but I believe their thunderbolt cable fits into the FineWoven case and it's of course usb 3.2 gen 2 compliant. Although a bit of an overkill since iPhones don't support thunderbolt speeds and the thunderbolt cable is way more expensive than any usb-c cable I've seen.
 
this spigen thunderbolt 4 is what i ordered for myself and it fits great:


it was on sale for $20 when i bought it but is up to $25 now, not sure if that exceeds the budget. it is overkill but i figured its a cable that i would use for multiple generations of phones and devices (macbook/ipad) so would be worth it to future proof in case there are thunderbolt compatible devices i own in the future.

for comparison the short cable that came with my sandisk external drive has a rectangular cut and doesnt fit with the case on. Otherwise i would have likely skipped buying an extra cable
