Not sure where you are going here.
Apple is known to make its accessories highly incompatible with existing standards and charge an exorbitant price for it. Security is one of the reason they cite for it.
Apple’s USB C cables and chargers are ordinary, standards-compliant devices
That's good to hear. But does that mean that non-Apple USB-C cable also work fine on USB-C Apple devices for both charging and data transfer? I am curious about this as Apple's lightening cable all include a chip and the iDevices won't work with a lightening cable with an unapproved chip in it. Do Apple's USB-C cable also include a chip?
- gumby 5y agoI use a variety of vendors for USB c cables, and PD power supplies, and Qi chargers and all work fine. > Apple is known to make its accessories highly incompatible with existing standards Apart from using 30-pin and lighting I have not know this to be true in the usb era. Typically they are quite compliant but very strict, and use the standard identifiers to operate external devices rather than third party drivers. Their Bluetooth gear works with android and other devices. Note their watch has its own charger.
