Standard apple shite, locking you to their (overly priced) peripherals, best move I ever made 7 years ago was ditching all Apple products! If you gave me one tomorrow I'd sell it the next day!

You don’t need to use Apple branded cables. Any mfi certified cable will work. They’re a dime a dozen on Amazon.

Some Android phones also do this by the way

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

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.

Quite easily, I love going off grid, and I don't like big brother watching over me, that's why I deleted all social media 🥸😜

> I don’t like big brother watching over me

Personally, I think you’re a coward. Take me for example. I invite big brother to monitor everything I do because listening to endless conversations about which one of my wife’s co-workers did something stupid today or what activities my kids have to go to has definitely caused some of those big brother types to at least rage quit, if not commit suicide. Your life is just as boring as mine (sorry - delusions of grandeur aside, we both know it’s true) and yet you’re not doing anything to weaponize your mundanity.
