Teardown of Apple's new & long Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable highlights why it's so expensive
I’ve been trying a few options from Ali and had relative success. Using a Jeyi TB3 enclosure I speed tested a 980 pcie 4 (7000MB/s) SSD at easily saturated to TB3 bus to 2800MB/s using cheap cables. The Apple cable performed identically.
That said there have been reviews on some cables of them working fine but not getting full speed 40GB/s so don’t buy 10 and think any will be fine. Buy a couple and test then buy more. The last order got me TB4 cables for $US16 and are nice braided ones.

Third-party iPad smart connector accessories not working with iPadOS 18.3 beta
I do hope this a bug - having my 12.9" iPad Pro as a second monitor on an arm is so handy. Sidecar works so well without a data connection to the host machine.
