I doubt that Apple is getting a “cut” of the $5 cables you can buy from Amazon or your local bodega.

They do from MFi certified cables. You have to pay apple a licensing fee. and the non licensed cables will sometimes give you an error.

  • I’ve bought dozens of cords over the past decade that weren’t MFI certified and not have any issues. Do you think the top selling Lightning cables on Amazon or at your local bodega or convenience store paid Apple a fee?
