More rigid Apple USB-C to cable I own two USB C to C cables from Apple. One of which I bought about half a year ago (this one) and one that came with my MacBook Pro 13 (Mid 2017). I've noticed that the cable that came with the MacBook Pro has feels a lot more rigid, thicker and plugs into my devices a lot smoother than the older cable. 

Does anyone know whether they updated the old USB C to C cable to this more rigid version or is it still the old one? (Or is the more rigid version exclusive to MacBook Pros?)
There is no way to ensure that you will get a specific cable design (for lack of a better word) when ordering an Apple cable. I'd suggest finding a third-party cable you like and sticking with it. I personally use the Amazon Basics cables (Lightning to USB-A, not USB-C, though) and have had no issues with them. I have found them to be much more rigid and thick than the Apple cables and therefore they last a lot longer.
