Well, first off, it is just a simple dongle. Shame on apple for people needing to spend a fortune on this. the product works but not for the price. find something aftermarket and go with that.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I needed to transfer about 80gb of documents from an okd macbook pro to my new macbook air. There isnt a thunderbolt 2 to 3 cable so this adapter was needed. It worked perfectly. But the challenge was then finding a thunderbolt 2 cable which i did find elsewhere. Adapter was a huge help

Converts usb c to older thunderbolt - got an older Apple display running as promised. It’s a little expensive but it works.

I have an older Mac display with Thunderbolt 2 ports and a newer Mac mini with Thunderbolt 3 ports. This did the trick to connect my newer Mac to the display and allowing the continued use of the built-in webcam and speakers.

Thunderbolt 2 is not the same as mini display port

It took a lot of research to finally realize that older iMacs that use Thunderbolt 2 look shockingly similar to the Mini displayport. They are virtually identical, however, they are not compatible. I had a very difficult time getting my 2013 iMac to work as a display with my new 2019 iMac. This does the trick, albeit haphazardly. None of the other cables would work, and this one works much of the time. Not sure what is the problem or how I can replicate the way it gets recognized. Very frustrating. Save yourself the time and buy the genuine cable. There are no aftermarkets that are worthwhile

I bought a thunderbolt display years ago for my MacBook pro but went back to school for engineering and have wanted to work on my pc with that display but no laptop uses thunderbolt 2 except apple but my pc has thunderbolt 3. I bought this hoping that it would work and I can finally say I can now work on my pc using the thunderbolt display.

Upgraded to new MacBook Pro that only has type C ports. I have a WD HD with a thunderbolt connection which I used with my old 2013 MacBook Pro. This adapter works great with my WD HD and my new MacBook Pro. I give it 4 stars because of the price.

High quality Apple part as usual. Easy to use, works well. I haven't had any issues with it. I'm using it to connect a Thunderbolt 2 hard drive to an iMac's Thunderbolt 3 port.

Needed to purchase this adapter so I can use my Thunderbolt external monitor with my 2017 Macbook Pro. It's overpriced in my opinion, but does what it needs to do.

This length is a little short and the next size is way too long for what I needed.
Price is expensive
Overall it works great and no other complaints other than price and length options.

Works as it should. I bought it as an open box return, so it cost less than buying new from Apple or Best Buy. I have this chained with a FW800 to Tunderbold 3 adapter in order to use a Canon DV camcorder with iMovie.

This is a needed accessory to keep use accessories you already have. It's too bad that Apple sets the price so high, it should be half the cost, but otherwise works perfectly and is not bulky.

Needed the Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter to interface to a computer. A little pricey at $50 but did the job!
