    That’s a bit unnecessary, Eric.
    Mind you, I would take issue with USD$49.95 for a 2,800 mAh battery, regardless of its other features. That is waaaay above the price of competitor products.  So automatic downgrade of at least two stars right there.
    edit: actually i would take another two stars off as 2,800 mAh just isn’t worth it at half the price. There are any number of just as compact chargers at half the price but around 5,000 mAh, which takes care of any battery power transfer inefficiencies. An xtra cable isn’t that inconvenient. So one star ⭐️ sight unseen, and happy for it to stay that way.
    We appreciate the feedback. We're always working to get costs down and hope to do so in the future. For reference this cable is available for the same cost as our original, smaller, and plastic encased battery cable.

    I don't mean to be a dick, but I don't understand how you give a new product "5 out of 5 stars" when it's incompatible with every Macbook* released in the last three years.

    (*by "macbook", I mean the modern ecosystem including Macbooks, Macbook chargers and high-speed iOS chargers)

    USB-C or GTFO
    Hey Eric. 

    Just to chime in here real quick, I'm Chuck and I do the marketing over at Nomad. 

    I agree, doing a USB-C > Lightning style cable for most if not all our cables would be fantastic. Unfortunately, the current MFi ecosystem prevents 3rd parties from doing so. As soon as that restriction is opened up, you can bet we'll be ready with some new gear.
