The switch to USB-C is good! Except for all the dongles you’ll need to get there.

It still suggests that there would a benefit of using a TB4 cable. There isn't.

They don't sell USB 3.2 cables from what I can see in their shop. So bascially if you want to use the new IPhones max transfer speed (which is just double what what you can do with the cheap one) they force you to buy a cable that is 10x more capable and costs 4x as much.

Please refer back to my original comment stating the premise of the article. You just described the exact reason why they included this cable in the article (including your phrasing of 'forced to buy'). It's because Apple doesn't offer you any alternative.

So why not properly mention alternatives? What's your point here? Because this basically just confirms this is thinly veiled apple ad.

Strange ad considering they're mocking Apple's high prices and telling you there are cheaper alternatives out there but okay.

Yeah "mockingly" suggesting you all the expensive apple products you don't actually need.
