Apple's discounts on USB-C adapters and accessories are set to end today. The company introduced the discounts following the release of the new MacBook Pro.

"We recognize that many users, especially pros, rely on legacy connectors to get work done today and they face a transition. We want to help them move to the latest technology and peripherals, as well as accelerate the growth of this new ecosystem. Through the end of the year, we are reducing prices on all USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 peripherals we sell, as well as the prices on Apple's USB-C adapters and cables.”

Apple already extended the discounts once from ending on December 31st to March 31st.

All prices for USB-C adapters were dropped by $6 to $20:

● Multiport adapter with HDMI, USB, and USB-C from $69 to $49

Great timing, just after s8 comes up with headphone plug. I hope apple put that plug back, I will use my 6s as long as I can, it will take a while that apple could have understand why people not updating their phones, some bad decisions can kill a company, 10 years ago no one believes that there will be no Nokia in mobile industry

Here's the thing, if they're not MFi certified, they could damage your device and even catch on fire. Yes, they're way cheaper because they haven't been tested for quality by Apple. Amazon cables are MFi certified but most cheap Chinese cables aren't. You're getting what you're paying for.

MFI stands for "made for iPhone" and was spec for how to interface with 30-pin and later the lightning port. USB-C is an industry held spec and open in terms of the requirements. The Apple adapters are no better than the Belkin
