Neat: the new Thunderbolt 5 cable from Apple has a teeny tiny emoji 5 (5️⃣) on the connector so you know it’s TB5.

@sdw Good, long overdue, should be on all cables.

@sdw The USB-IF finally came up with a clear, standardized way to communicate cable capabilities. Apple: nah, we’re good

@sdw 😂
IMO it’s better than what came before, e.g.
- USB 3.2 gen2 × 2
- SS ⚡️ (🤦)

I’d argue that 95% of people are fine with the basic charging cable (USB2 & 60 Watts). More sophisticated uses will require some additional knowledge. Transferring data at 80 Gbps (TBT 5) is an advanced use case IMO

@sdw @octothorpe honestly saw that picture and thought it was a single pic of a cable with a really weird connector.

@sdw … I can triple click the power button on my iPhone to activate the magnifying function, very handy … don’t know why this comes to mind 😅

@sdw No - would be cooler if it was bigger and not stealthy
