If you have a legacy iPhone power brick there's a good chance you also possess legacy Lighthnig to USB-A cable. It's more troublesome for those who migrate from

  Depending on how old the USB-A Apple power brick is, it may lack partial or full support for rapid charging. Which to unlock, would still require an additional $20 purchase.

    Granted. Of course. It also requires an additional purchase to use the other, superior way of charging that's built into new iPhones, which is MagSafe, of course. But my point was limited to dismantling the repeated claim in this thread that moving to USB-C chargers somehow "required" a new purchase, or somehow meant that all the old chargers and cables don't work. Neither of those things is true and I'm tired of reading those distortions. Obviously quick charging could not work at full speed with the old 5W chargers, and you can't magically make USB-A support more power, so the move to USB-C was necessitated by the ability to charge more quickly. But full backwards compatibility has been maintained, as much as is possible. That's all I'm saying.
