Don't Buy Apple's Accessories
Apple might try to sell you on their charger, but it's not worth the cost.
Iβm an Apple fan. Iβm pretty much entirely enrolled in the ecosystem, working between my iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch throughout the day (sadly, no iPod). However, thereβs one aspect of the Apple universe that I donβt subscribe to, and, in fact, make an effort to steer away from: accessory loyalty.
Apple makes a lot of accessories: cases, keyboards, headphones, you name it. I really like the Magic Keyboard, and I use my AirPods every day; these arenβt the accessories Iβm talking about. For the purposes of this article, Iβm referring to Appleβs favorite submarket of cables, chargers, and adapters.
You donβt need to buy Apple accessories for Apple products
