Great way to add even more confusion and poor user experience to the already complicated usb c ecosystem.

The reality of it is, Apple wants people to buy Apple only products. So… they’ll make it a pain in the ass for every other cable to work on their new iPhone. I don’t think it’ll add any confusion per-say, but it’ll be more of a “as long as you have an Apple approved cable you’ll be good, otherwise you’re in your own”

The reality is people buy shit cables. I had to pay like $70 just for my MacBook to be able to charge and connect to the monitor. You know how long it took me to find a decent cable that wasn’t apple.

I hear you and I’m the same way too if I can cheap out on my cable then I’ll do it. In fact any additional iPhone cables I’ve always gotten them from 5 n below. But apple being Apple will do its thing and somehow market their own usb c as the must have

Seem like they did that on purpose to give a middle finger to the ones who cried about wanting it to be usb-c charging.

It'll work.. just not pull 20v unless you use an apple certified cable and charger.
