You may be underestimating how significant $20-$30 is to some people.

Edit: wording.




Are you suggesting a stolen cable brings the same sort of premium as a new one from Apple?

Regardless, I'm not suggesting this at all. My point is that there are likely ways to get something worth so little without risking significant jail time.

This is kind of my point. I guess I underestimated the demand for iphone cables.
