Why would Apple (or any company) put a ferrite on the cable if it wasn’t needed to pass FCC?

Expecting every company to make their products ultra-quiet beyond the FCC limits so amateur radio operators can use them right next to their radios isn’t realistic. You certainly wouldn’t like paying the added costs of all of your products just to make them extra quiet for hams.

The author showed how easy it was for hams to solve their own problem as needed. Putting a ferrite on every charger in the world just to appease the handful of hams who want to use their radio right next to it is unreasonable.
