The Apple TV Remote Loop is retailing for S$18 in Singapore.

And as what Apple describes it:

Bought the Mi Cable Storage Box from Xiaomi official online store on Tmall for CN¥45 (S$9.20) (excluding shipping) during their 12/12 sale. The usual price is CN¥49 (S$10).

It is a simple cable storage box that measures 125 x 115 x 309mm.

Having bought the Nomad Universal Cable (1.5m) from South Korea, I have wanted to get the other shorter version, which is 0.3m.

The 1.5m is great for charging from a power outlet, but it is too bulky (after you coil the cable) to be truly portable.

Bought the Anker Micro USB to USB C Adapter from Amazon for US$6.99 (S$10). It comes in a pack of two, so that makes it US$3 (S$5) each, excluding shipping.

It does ship directly to Singapore for US$4.49 (S$6).

I always wanted to get the Nomad Universal Cable as it is the only rugged 3-in-1 cable that supports Lightning, USB-C, and Micro USB.

The core cable is USB-A to Micro USB with two attached tips, an MFi certified Lightning tip and a USB-C tip.

I bought the Cable Matters 2-Pack, Gold Plated DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable (6 Feet) on Amazon for US$17.99 (S$25).

I bought it together with the Cable Matters Thunderbolt 3 to Dual 4K or Single 5K DisplayPort Adapter.

I was looking for an adapter that allows me to output to two external displays using just a single port and I realized that USB-C is not the way to go. USB-C specifications only allow one external display per USB-C port.

So the next logical thing to search is for Thunderbolt 3 adapters and I found the Cable Matters Thunderbolt 3 to Dual 4K or Single 5K DisplayPort Adapter from Amazon retailing for US$79.99 (S$112).

The AmazonBasics USB Type-C to Micro-B 2.0 Cable is available in two colors and comes in three different lengths: 6″ (15.2cm), 3ft (0.9m) and 6ft (1.8)

Similarly to the AmazonBasics USB Type-C to USB Type-C 2.0 Cable, there is a price difference between the black and white. I am using the black for comparison.

I bought this brandless USB-C to Mini DisplayPort Adapter from Lazada for S$12.96 with free shipping to Singapore if you opted for the slowest shipping.

It is an OEM USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter from 1buycart which is located in Shenzhen, China. At the time of writing, they have 207 product ratings and 71 seller ratings with an average score of 4.4 stars out of 5.
