Comment on What are some good, solid cables for charging and data transfer?

  Apple users won’t know the difference - I know a lot of the time data and power transfer numbers don’t matter to the average user, but I feel it’s goddamn criminal to use USB C but artificially restrict (for their non Pro phones ofc) to 2.0 speeds, while charging the same for their products as other, far better equipped phones. Same with Samsung and their incessant restrictions on any cable that’s not Samsung, offering like 60W of charging speed max. Meanwhile all the other Androids are living it up with USB3.2, max 10Gbps, and >100W since 2023.

    I recently bought a keychain for about $6 that’s basically a 6 inch USB4 cable with 240W PD and 80gbps transfer speed. I can’t imagine making low-speed cables makes any sense nowadays.
