Comment on My phone, iPad, and laptop finally all use the same USB-C charger. The galaxy is at peace.
Flatfire@lemmy.ca 6 days agoThe standard is a collection of mostly optional features, with the only real requirements being USB 2.0 speeds and 5V1A power delivery.
However, USB-PD, the actual fast charging standard in the USB-C spec is pretty universally implemented at this point across mobile devices. At the very least, it will always fall back to the standard 5V1A if the device is stupid enough not to support anything better.

My tablet doesn’t support it I was so confused. I got a work laptop that I literally only use for teaching but I use it’s charger at home for everything that thing is a BEAST.

It’s frustrating that there isn’t stronger enforcement by the USB-IF about how these standards can or can’t be implemented. The savings of a few pennies for the sake of not including basic fast charging hardware is ridiculous.
The idea that adopting the connector is more important than adopting the standard generates infinitely more confusion than if the connector matched the standard.
