I can't fathom how we all went ten years without knowing this stuff.

  Didn't have a laptop with USB-C ports until 2021. I've got a couple now. One does PD, one does not. One does video out, one does not. One charges fast, and you guessed it, one does not. Is it supposed to be easy because the cables fit? Honestly, it's only made it harder and I know what I'm doing. "It fits but doesn't do what I was told it would" is probably more confusing to the average Joe.

    But but everything used usb-c so iPhones must be usb-c now toooooo!!! I like the physical connection of usb-c but that’s it. The whole thing is an absolute mess. I’m going to miss lightening port.

      > everything used usb-c so iPhones must be usb-c now toooooo EU agrees with this.

      No you're not. Even the worst USB-C cable is better than lightning. An iPhone doesn't charge another device. So you're good. Also, then hopefully I won't need to switch out cables every so often because of a shorting pin #4.

  If you plug in a semi recent Samsung phone to a USB-c monitor, not only will it charge, but you will also get some kind of desktop experience on the monitor.
