Context: this is a legit screenshot I took on my workplace around 1.5 years ago. Hopefully it's been patched by now? Completely ridiculous behavior

Maybe you were holding it wrong

Maybe the cable was not of the 60 usd official licensed by apple type.

The only cables I buy are Ugreen. They do no break after a week, come in multiple lengths, and they don't lie about specs.

A 100W 1m charging cable, for example, retails here for 13$, or 10$ when you buy from Aliexpress/Evay/Amazon via their official store.

I feel you. The cable, adapter and usb hub market is fucking atrocious. Specifications are often inaccurate or insufficient. I've had so many headaches because of this, but at least we have a 14-day obligatory return policy in the EU.

Oh, I forgot about that one! Apple are full of shit. Also "it's not a bug, it's a feature" is a classic.

Whoops, it seems the last one isn't from Apple, I guess I've just seen it used about their products so many times I assumed it originated from them...sorry about that. I shouldn't go around the internet assuming things.

The Internet has decided you are wrong and have charged you with the punishment of death. Have a nice day!
