Question about USB C – USB C - 521463

Hello,
This is a usb-c to usb-c cable. It only charges an iPad. Unfortunately it does not allow you to exchange files. You have to buy a new cable, the 0.8 m Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) cable CHF 45.00 or Thunderbolt 4 Pro cable (1.8 m) CHF 139.00.
For my use this cable is unfortunately not very useful. I had to switch to the 0.8 m cable from Apple at chf 45.00.
So too expensive for the service provided...

Even if you have USB-C ports... it's useless... you can't connect an external SSD... Apple sometimes offers amazing things.
