I provided evidence.

You provided none other than your opinion.

Kindly provide a link to a charger of comparable quality to Apple's that costs significantly less than the $19 you can buy one for on Amazon.

Here's one for $11:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0073FE1F0/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=...

Its the first result on Amazon when you search for "USB charger"

The link that you posted is an excellent comparison BUT no evidence that "$30" is the right price point for a good charger. The iPhone charger has poor rating on current sag. The ipad charger has poor rating on voltage sag.

Actually, the Apple chargers in that link displayed the expected behavior for the USB 2.0 "extended power" (can't think of the actual title) specification. The author has a fancy oscilloscope, but that doesn't mean he/she knows everything.

I'm not the one making the claim that $30 is "overpriced". You are.
