Reply to comment by speculatrix in The iPhone 15’s USB-C port might come with a catch - new report says third-party cables might not support fast charging by MicroSofty88

Some android phones need specific cables, otherwise their quick charge won’t work.

Right. You have to use decent cables, not the minimal-level older designs. This is not some kind of vendor lock-in. You can use any cable that supports modern standards.

No. Stuff like SuperVOOC or WARP charge has nothing to do with cable quality. It's simply a proprietary standard lock-in, and you can tell by the fact that the other side of the Type-C cable is an old USB-A.

Use the best Type-C you can find and you still won't have access to it.

If you are talking about some of the insane charging speeds by chinese phones, i think it is because they deliver 120w which is higher than other charger/cables.

That’s what i was referring to.

The thing is no other chargers deliver 120w. If one comes along from another brand, I'm fairly sure it would still work. However, iPhone charger is only 20w (based on apple https://support.apple.com/en-sg/guide/iphone/iph8c1e31583/ios) and they are going to restrict to 5w if not using their charger? What excuses do they have for that?

The article is just a guess and would be just the case for the iPhone 15. we don’t know yet what specs it might have. You can just assume that it will be still just 20w.
