Unveiling Apple's Intricate Thunderbolt 4 Cable Design Through X-ray CT Scans

Industrial CT scanner manufacturer Lumafield conducted a study comparing the internal components of Apple's $130 Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) Pro cable with cheaper USB-C cables. The study found that Apple's cable features 24 pins mounted on a printed circuit board assembly, with parallel traces and careful engineering to ensure reliable data transmission at high speeds. The cable is encased in hard plastic, with a stainless steel shield and a single-piece strain relief. In contrast, cheaper cables had fewer pins, less robust strain relief, and lacked shielding and grounding. While the $130 price tag may still be steep for some, the study highlights the precision engineering and quality components that justify the cost of Apple's cable.

Rumors suggest that Apple may offer a USB-C data transfer accessory cable for the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro models capable of Thunderbolt or USB4 speeds of up to 40Gbps, which will be sold separately. The switch to USB-C ports on the iPhone 15 lineup is expected to improve data transfer speeds, particularly for video files, but may face backlash from users who will need to replace their existing Lightning cables with USB-C cables. The Pro models are rumored to support higher-speed data transfer, while the non-Pro models may be limited to USB 2.0 speeds.
