In the early morning of March 9, Apple's spring conference launched a series of new products, including a new Mac Studio desktop console and Studio DisPlay display, a new generation of iPad Air, a new generation of iPhone SE, Cangling green look of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro. In addition to the new products at the conference, Apple also listed an accessory that refreshed the cognition of ordinary users on the official website, let's take a look.
The new external monitor Studio DisPlay comes with a 1-meter-long Thunderbolt 4 Pro cable. According to Apple's official website, the newly listed 1.8-meter-long Thunderbolt 4Pro connection line is priced at 949 yuan. In addition, a 3-meter-long one will be launched soon, priced at 1169 yuan.
According to the description on the apple official website page, the cable has the following highlights:
- Data transfer rates up to 40Gb/s
-USB 3.1 Gen 2 data transfer rates up to 10Gb/s
-DisplayPort video output (HBR3)
- Connect to devices and monitors that support Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, or USB-C and USB
-Power supply up to 100 watts
-The woven design makes it easy to tangle when rolled up
--Thunderbolt logo is easy to identify and will not be confused with other cables
- Daisy-chain up to six Thunderbolt 3 devices
Obviously, this connection cable is not an ordinary USB Type-C cable, it is the use of the current high-specification Raiden 4 standard on the market, but somehow the data cable end is not marked with the number "4", whether it is related to Intel certification, these are unknown.
As for the filament is expensive? Netizens on Weibo have quarreled and successfully pushed the topic to the hot search. If compared with other brands of the same specifications, it is indeed expensive. However, it is not comparable to ordinary USB-C charging cables.
Xiaobian went to the e-commerce platform with the keyword "Thunderbolt 4 data line" to search for products of the same specifications, and found several Thunderbolt 4 data lines, of which Zikko's 2-meter active Thunderbolt 4 data line also supports Thunderbolt 4 interface, up to 40Gb/s transmission rate, up to 100W power, etc., and can also be backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3, USB3.1, etc., with a price of less than 499 yuan. The comparison between the two is almost half the price of the Apple cable, and the length is 20 centimeters more, which can meet more use distance scenarios. The disadvantage is not the appearance of the weave, which apples have the advantage.
Looking at the user's comments, it is already 500+ comments, and it can be seen that there are still many users who choose this type of wire.
From another point of view, the 1.8-meter Thunderbolt 4 Pro connection line brought by Apple this time further promotes the Thunderbolt 4 product to ordinary users, setting a price benchmark for peers and giving Thunderbolt technology enthusiasts more choices.
