Apple is finally selling its own Thunderbolt 3 USB-C cables
It’s taken a while, but Apple is finally selling its own Thunderbolt 3 USB-C cables in the Apple Store. The company introduced MacBook Pro models that exclusively used USB-C over a year ago, with support for the faster Thunderbolt 3 data transfer standard. But when Apple released all of its USB-C dongles and accessories with the MacBooks, one thing was conspicuously missing: an actual Apple Thunderbolt 3 cable.
Apple makes USB-C to USB-C cables already, but those only transfer data at USB 2.0 speeds and are generally meant more for charging than data. So customers have been stuck with third-party cables for Thunderbolt 3, like the $29.99 Belkin one that Apple has stocked for the last year-plus.
But now, Apple finally makes its own…
