Warning: smelly, disintegrating cables
The problem of smelly cables still hasn't been fixed. It's an acidic, moldy sort of smell.
I returned the first 2-meter USB-C charging cable, only to have it replaced by a second equally stinky cable. Not only are they smelly, they also are disintegrating and leave a white residue on anything they touch.
Really embarrassing for Apple, especially as they promote their high environmental standards. What a waste.
