Differences between HDMI 2.1 and Thunderbolt 3/4: Some folks in the comments had raised this point, so i decided to look into it and find the reasons for why Thunderbolt exists and why some folks swear by it. HDMI: - primarily audio/video transmission - HDMI 2.1 - upto 40/48Gbps (one-way), audio return requires less bandwidth. Thunderbolt: - A/V, data and power transmission - TB 3/4 - 40 Gbps, - upto 100W USB PD (power delivery) - upto 10Gbps Ethernet - can support external GPU's (Windows laptops) Thunderbolt 4 specific: - video signal to 2 4k displays (daisy chain), or 1 8k - when laptop connected to dock, should be able to wake-from-sleep via dock-connected keyboard/mouse Apparently TB3 cables needed to guarantee 40Gbps (bi-directionally) for only 0.5m, and TB4 certification required 40Gbps for at least 2m. Considering that TB3 came out in 2015 and TB4 in 2020, there seems to be quite some technical challenge in achieving TB4 standards. So if the user's only concern is an external display, an OLED TV (via HDMI) may make more sense than a monitor. What Apple is trying to do (with the Studio monitor) is to create an extension of the computer with a single cable. No turning on the monitor, no secondary power cables for laptops, no worries of how webcam and mic data can be transmitted back to the computer etc. Hope this helps!!
Great info but for 1.5k-2k that display is sh*t. An Alienware qd oled monitor is 10x better quality of picture & much higher brightness etc for less money ofc no webcam, speakers but lets be honest all can be added later & much better quality. ppl buying the mac studio will have studio monitors anyways.

@@djrez2107 Yeah they failed to mention why. All Thunderbolt cables over 0.8M in length require active re-timing chips on either end of the cable. There are cheaper cables that don't have these chips and you will find they limit bandwidth to 20Gbps, with the re-timing chips the full bandwidth is on offer on these 2M/3M cables. "Intel certified" active Thunderbolt cables with the chips are usually kinda pricey although Cable Matters make them for a lot less than Apple.

Thunderbolt 3 cable is fully compatible with thunderbolt 4 ports. No speed differences between Apple TB3 and TB4. Some PCs only implemented half speed TB3 on their ports. So an optical TB3 cable will work without issues or speed degradation on apple TB4 port.
If one were to upload videos recorded on iPhone 15PM and GoPro to their MacBook Pro, will this cable still work with the iPhone 15PM? I understand the 15 Pro's use just regular USBC.. but will this cable still work with the iPhone 15 pro max?
Thank you for this information, I always ponder why the asking price for products such as this are so expensive. It makes you realize the very real necessity that funds are to manage and maintain clean and clear-cut tech such as laptops
2:45 actually the mac studios fans are quiet, the loud part is the power supply. It's made by I think 4 different manufacturers and I've experienced many having very audible coil whine.
This doesn't really answer the question though, Apple's 1.8m cable is twice as expensive as the competitions 2m cable. For the 3m version, I get it, they have a monopoly atm. But since it is out of spec, what guarantees do you have that it will work with anything but Apple products?
The Studio Display has only Thunderbolt 3 port. The specs don’t say if you are getting an Thunderbolt 3 or 4 cable. My bet it will be an Thunderbolt 3 Cable.
I was wondering about that. This must be a brand new cable because they only make TB cables in 0.8m (TB3) in 1.8m (TB4) so far, and the current TB3 cable is white, and on their specs sheet, it shows a 1m black cable. I only have experience with their short TB3 cable (which is $39), but it's a really good cable, as in it fully supports 40 Gbps and USB-C 3.1 backwards compatibility, which not all TB cables do. Especially when I was testing the Ultrafine 5K, I noticed that a lot of so-called certified TB3 cables could not carry a 5K signal, and the USB-C hub wouldn't be reliable with many cables of various length (other than the bundled stock cable from LG), and some would work well with Apple Silicon but not with Intel Macs, but the Apple TB3 cable was one of the few that never had any issues whatsoever. For the most part, a fully equipped TB3 cable should function identically to a TB4 cable, so I'm not overly concerned.
A high quality Thunderbolt 3 cable is a Thunderbolt 4 cable. "Thunderbolt 4" is just as stupid as the new USB naming system. No real difference between 3 and 4, both 40Gbps.
@@leeward6762 thunderbolt 4 actually has more features compared to thunderbolt 3 , like 2 4K displays or one 8k display instead of just one 4K display. The PCIe bandwidth has been increased from 16Gb/s to 32Gb/S . It can also wake up laptops from sleep just by pressing a key . Intel has increased the minimum required specs for the thunderbolt cables , that’s why they are very pricy
I wouldn't be surprised if in the next two console generations, consoles and TVs may use TB4 given how small it is. Maybe not to transmit the 40GBit date transmission, but video/sound and power. Who knows. I never thought I would use apps on my phone to order food 12years ago.
I figured out how to put a Pyrex measuring cup, a handful of pennies and a sock on a baking sheet and stick it in the oven; if I time it just right, I get a Thunderbolt-4 Pro cable; trouble is, it's only 1.7 meters.
Thunderbolt 3/4 cables over 0.8M (I think) are all gonna be kinda pricey if they're real-deal since they've got active retiming circuitry to support the length. Of course Cable Matters are able to sell 2M/3M Intel certified TB4 cables much cheaper than Apple can because Apple.
So apparently CableMatters launched a 3-meter long TB4 cable that does everything Apple cable does. Intel certified, 100w charging, usb4, everything. For $65. The monopoly was short-lived, thank god.
I can't find any 3 meters tunderbolt4 cable, but a 2 meters one costs 50 dollars on Amazon. So yes, long thunderbolt 4 cables are expensive, but these apple ones have only one thing of special: They are super expensive.
See, Apple can charge that ridiculous price b/c they know that the TH-camr vlogers and the online Bloggers will blow sunshine up their butts about how much better their thunderbolt cables are compared to something like OWC's or Cable Matters and they know the Applites will buy that crap - literally and figuratively.

Good engineering costs money. On my legacy TV set up (AV stack, TV/video/sky/free view box/hdr) I have an expensive 12m scart cable used for a 1 metre run, but it does everything. All pins are wired and have individual shielding and shielding around the whole bundle. 20 pins all wired, with grounded individual shielding, no interference with audio cables (hi-fi) that run close in from my audio stack (playstation5/amp/2 tape decks/5 disk cd/dvd multichanger). Will admit that apple will make you pay the apple tax, doubling or trebeling the price. But good engineering costs!
A single cable to handle simultaneous data transfer, video output, Ethernet, AND power delivery...yeah it's going to cost a lot. It definitely cleans up the cable clutter. It's not for everyone. Razer is coming out with a 2M TB4 cable for $109. It's being sent to me for review. Unfortunately, I don't have the set up to use it's full potential. It's going to be underused to provide PD from my USB C dock to my Dynabook laptop at work...but I am going to enjoy less cables on my desk... I'm already using a Nomad Goods 1.5M cable that can handle 100W and USBC 3.2 speeds to power my dock using a 65W Charger from VOLTME.
I already know everyone is going to laugh at me but here goes. I wanted a longer cable for my Studio Display. The one Apple provides is ridiculously short (probably to spur you on to upgrade). I bought a six foot $25 TB4 cable off Amazon. But that still wasn't long enough. I saw Apple is the only one who makes them longer so I let them commit a hate crime against my wallet and I got the 3 meter version. Honestly............I don't think it's placebo here...........I think the image quality has improved. Yes, it's all the same spec, the same 1's and O's but there can still be differences in signal strength, shielding, etc. It might still be a ripoff but I do think it's better.
Oh the iFanBoy couldn't justify the price not only by saying these cables are special when the same time there are thunderbolt 4 cables with the same specs in 1/3 of the price. How much apple is paying you.
Unless it's a collectable, everything goes down in price. I remember when Auxiliary cables were $50........now you can buy them for $5 from a gas station lol.
