It seems like OEMs are becoming brave enough to stop bundling a USB charging cable in their phone’s packaging.
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. There’s so many articles and videos out there around the topic of badly made usb c cables, this is a real issue. E.g. here since you are probably going to ask for a source https://www.pcworld.com/article/2530811/buying-a-usb-c-cable-watch-out-for-these-6-crucial-gotchas.html
minus-squareragas@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 day 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.
