Once, there was no standard at all for high speed charging. These phones proved it was possible and that people would pay for it.

Apple are taking an existing well-established standard and making a proprietary version specifically so they can screw their customers by having expensive charging cables.

See the difference?

iphones can charge with the usb-c standard up to 30W today, they use the PD standard of USB-c

These companies didn't use PD, they are using the usb-c cable and standard but not the USB Power Delivery standard. This might or might not be copied by apple.

My comment brought attention to the fact that if it's a feature present on just one model android phone, apple is copying them but if it's a bad feature, it's not copying android, just a few bad apples, which is a double standard

But iPhones use lightning cables, with a chip, to lock them into Apple or authorised products
