The fearmongering is so intense in these discussions, my word. > You'll either have phones that get bricked because of a low quality cable/charger or people will be mad that their current charger won't work at 20A. This just isn't a real problem. People's phones don't get bricked like this. USB & USB-PD in particular (required for >15W) has very real safety guards, that have worked very well. The compliance testing is more about getting full speed charges. People aren't mad in Android world because their phone isn't charging at max speed- they understand there's different charge rates. IPhone users already face this second situation anyways: if you just buy a random certified lightning cable & charger, it's not going to charge your 20W+ IPhone at max speed, and might even potentially drain while charging. Same thing goes for all this complaining about bad cables. Any cable becomes bad over time, Apple cables included. Plenty of frayed busted old lightning cables are in use right now, and there's incredibly little real world impact for this; it all mostly works and people mostly get that their cable isn't quite in good condition, and if it's working less optimally, they get it. This idea that Apple is some magical cure-all is an absurd fantasy. Apple isn't stuck, the people defending Apple are stuck, inside Castle Apple, and they are too scared to look out over the parapets & see that it's actually a nice day outside.
