What are they charging? A standard non-apple 5 amp cable is $15-$20 for a good one. People think they're cheaper because they're used to buying junky 1.5 or 3 amp cables that don't even meet the USB-C spec for $5 on Amazon. If you're using a quick charger and your charge times haven't changed, you're using a cable that doesn't support enough amps.

I thought it was 30, but it looks to be 20USD, which like you said, not a terrible price by any means. I usually get the 100W capable ones for around 10-12 when they go on sale, so I even retract my "I wouldn't pay their prices" comment since I have paid 18-20 when I needed a good cable ASAP.

People just like to complain about the "apple tax" and I can't fault apple for not trusting their brand to shoddy products because the news isn't going to report that a shitty cable burned down a house, it's going to be that an iPhone burned down the house.
