Recently, Apple is on the hot search again!
After the spring launch on March 9, Apple's official website listed a bunch of new accessories.
Among them, a 1.8-meter-long Thunderbolt 4 Pro cable suitable for Studio Display sold for 949 yuan!
This is not the end, Apple is also ready to launch a 3-meter Thunderbolt 4 Pro cable, selling for 1169 yuan!
Judging from the introduction of the official website, the thread adopts a black braided design, and the biggest highlight is that it is not easy to tangle when rolled up. In addition, it supports Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 and USB 4 data transfers, USB 3.1 Generation 2 data transfers, Display Port video output, and charging capacity up to 100W.
As soon as the news came out, netizens exploded.
"When jump rope", "This price really does not treat consumers as outsiders", "Apple is very good, looking for you to send a data line", "Not expensive, apple does not cut poor leeks".......
In a round of ridicule, some netizens also put forward different views:
"The data cable is expensive, because it is a Thunderbolt 4 professional cable, not an ordinary charging cable, it doesn't matter if you can't afford it, the basic vision and thinking still have to be there."
"The cost of Raiden 4 wire itself is high, coupled with raiden's licensing fee, even the relatively affordable brand Greenlink has sold to 499, and the Apple brand premium is high, which is understandable."
In fact, Apple's official accessories are expensive, and it is not a new thing.
In October last year, Apple launched a polishing cloth priced at up to 145 yuan for wiping glasses and wiping screens, which also caused many controversies and questions.
Judging from the description on Apple's official website, this cloth has no other function or use except for its soft texture, and it seems to be no different from the one- or two-dollar glasses cloth at home.
Not only that, recently Apple's AirTag accessories have also launched a new product - Hermès co-brand AirTag keychain, priced at 2599 yuan! There is also the AirTag Hermès bag, from 2199 yuan! AirTag Hermès luggage tag, 3299 yuan!
In addition, the watch Apple Watch also launched a new strap - Hermès Jumping Single Tour, a 2599 yuan.
Hermès hermès leather strap style has eight new colors, one for 2799 yuan or 3999 yuan.
The most expensive is a Hermès Barrénia leather strap, a piece of 6999 yuan! More expensive than an iPhone 13!
Of course, the significance of these Hermès co-brand accessories has exceeded its own use function, and it is reasonable to be more expensive, just like wearing a Hermès brooch when you go out, you must have more face.
But what is unexpected is that even Apple's mouse, which cannot be used while charging, also costs 699 yuan!
Now it seems that Apple is the real luxury company.
But then again, the performance of the Raiden 4 data line is originally very anti-weather, supporting 40Gb/s transmission rate, 8K video transmission, 100W power transmission, the technical and cable quality requirements are very high. You certainly can't compare it to an ordinary C to C data line, because it's not a grade thing at all.
In addition, the price is often not dependent on the cost, but also on the market demand, some users are willing to spend more than 30,000 yuan to buy an Apple host, spend more than 10,000 yuan to buy a monitor, for this part of the gold big guy, spending more than a thousand dollars is not painful.
Of course, the brand premium of Apple's data line is still relatively high, and ordinary consumers really can't afford it.
For friends with needs, it is still recommended to choose the green link Raiden 4 data cable mentioned by netizens, compatible with Raiden 4 and USB 4 standards, support 8K@60Hz HD video signal transmission, the transmission rate can reach 40Gbps like Apple, and 10G size files can be transmitted in 5 seconds. The key is to pass the official Certification of Intel, and the security is also guaranteed.
Finally, I would like to ask, this year's apple spring new products, is there any of your dishes? Leave a message to talk about it~
