So you have no refutation to my point. Your contribution was 'yeah they can be faked, just like USB-C, but I only buy real ones'.

I'd be willing to buy a mfi certified cable on amazon. Apple enforces those.

You will be hard pressed to find a MFI certified cable in the above linked reviews that is rated poorly for spec.

You may find "compatible" ( https://www.amazon.com/TROND-Charger-Resistor-Charging-Chrom... ) - but not certified ( https://www.amazon.com/ask/questions/Tx1KDZKVM4Y5KYE/ref=ask... )

Would I trust buying an off brand usb cable that lacks MFI certification? Nope.
