[VERGE] Apple’s new USB-C iPhone cables and dongles are predictably expensive
The switch to USB-C is good! Except for all the dongles you’ll need to get there.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Four phones, not a Lightning port in sight — Apple is all in on USB-C.
To make the transition easier, Apple is now selling a bunch of predictably expensive new cables and dongles.
Or, for $29, you can get a two-meter cable that supports up to 240 watts of charging power.
It’s a meter long, and it supports data transfer up to 40Gbps, which is about 20x as fast as USB 2.
(I should remind you here that the beauty of USB-C is that Apple’s not the only company in charge of it.
Just get the charger that matches your charging speed and your wall plug, and you’re golden.)
