The switch to USB-C is good! Except for all the dongles you’ll need to get there.

What’s wrong with something like this?

[-] Virkkunen@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

It isn't made by Apple, therefore it must be bad and probably will break your phone /s

There's really nothing wrong with it, it's just that Apple knows they can charge anything for the silliest things and a wave of mindless consumers will buy without thinking

You probably won’t get full charging speed. An actual type-c cable gives higher watts than lightning.

I have a $2 USB C cable I got off of Ali that I use to charge my laptop at 65W. It's rated for 100W but I have no way of testing it.

It's actually higher quality than any official apple cable I've used, although that's a pretty low bar.

That sounds a bit too good to be true.

You probably won’t get full charging speed.

Then why not just use a USB C cable?
