It seems like OEMs are becoming brave enough to stop bundling a USB charging cable in their phone’s packaging.
minus-squareragas@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 day agoLiterally any USB-C cable supports charging with 60W. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C#Power_delivery Note however that this is not the case for those USB-A to USB-C cables.
minus-squareook@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 day agoYeah it is nice it can support it, that does however not mean they actually do.

minus-squareragas@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-223 hours agoReally your linked article is not very good in my opinion. It just recounts some common ‘wisdom’ without providing any actual data. Sure, if you got scammed and your cable is not actually a functioning cable, then anything can happen. However that does not change the fact that any USB-C cable has to support 60W charging.
