Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

Just buy decent cables from reputable suppliers, and understand that these will cost a bit more.

Cheap things will be crap and/or melt.

At least 3 of the "cheaper" cables I bought weren't able to handle:

• dock to laptop (needs to handle 65W power plus lots of data including the feed to a 4K 60Hz monitor)
  
• laptop to portable monitor (needs to provide both power and data)
  
  

Most annoying for me will be headphones. I don't like earbuds and prefer wired headphones. Eventually I'll need a bunch that have USB-C rather than lightning (I'm still using a few with the old headphone jack using a headphone-jack to lightning adapter).
