Reply to comment by chewb 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
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
