Reply to comment by Substantial_Boiler 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

It's usually because the cable, phone or charger are not designed or made correctly

No, it's because makers like OnePlus force users to buy only their proprietary chargers and cables to have access to their advanced fast charging features

I get full warp charge speed on my OnePlus using generic usb-c. As long as the block and cord are rated to handle 65w or more

You don't understand how fast charging works, do you?

I have a oneplus 8T and you are misinformed

my USB-C laptop charger and cable can also "warp charge" my phone

No - OnePlus gives you a bonus if you use their charger. But they don't penalize you for using someone else's.

It's like this: buy the OnePlus charger, and you get 200% charging speed! SuperVook ftw.

Buy any other charger, you get 100% of it's charging speed.

Apple is going: buy our charger, you get 100%. Use any other charger, you suffer with 60% speed.

That's literally the same thing as what Apple is doing... it's not a bonus, it's breaking compatibility maliciously.

If that compatibility breaking gives me 120w charging, 100% within 30 min, why not. Not so much when it gives me 20w max though, and cap non-apple charger to like 5-10w.
