Yeah. But they should literally charge less then. Even if only 5 buckaroos.
Comment on Phones may come without bundled USB cables in the future, if OEMs have their way

Hot take, I don’t mind it - my drawer of questionably compliant OEM cables is overflowing. Less plastic waste is a win, as long as everyone sticks to USB-C.

The issue is there’s a dozen different types of usb-c and not all cords are compatible with each type.

The cable you get with a phone is going to be the most basic of basic cable there is.

Wasnt the case, at least for me. My phone supports up to 30W charging, and the only cable i have that supports that is the one that came with the phone
ragas@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Literally any USB-C cable supports charging with 60W.

Note however that this is not the case for those USB-A to USB-C cables.

The cable that comes with my phone is the only way to get full speed charging so that’s false outfight.

So they’ve made a proprietary cable?

Not true. There are a dozen different types of knockoff USB-C. If you buy one that meets spec (basically just not the no-name bottom-of-the-barrel e-waste on Amazon) you’re going to get essentially full functionality (meaning high speed data transfer, power delivery, HDMI over USB, etc); and if you need something more, you’re probably going to know what to look for.
