Is that a direct quote?

Why would you buy a cable from Apple on Amazon? You are already paying the Apple tax and you want to add the amazon tax on top?

If you go on Apple website you can get the cable and free shipping

For me it only makes sense to have cheap alternatives when browsing for cables on amazon. Then again if i want cheap, i go on aliexpress

Apple rarely has a sale. Amazon has Apple products on sale regularly. I bought my airpods for $50 off when Apple was still selling them at MSRP. I don’t understand if someone is paying full retail on Amazon’s site for Apple products.

People like to have a consolidated way to do things, if they can.

True, but they probably used the worst example item... a single apple lighting cable for $17 is on the second page for me but I could also get a set of multiple off brand cables for $12. "I'd rather get fucked by apple than Amazon" ???
