Yes, this allows ifixit's iron reach maximum power the supply can provide (usually requesting maximum supported voltage and sinking up to maximum allowed current), regardless of current temperature and/or tip model.
Most of casual users of usb-c irons do not care about it, but if you ever used professional stuff, these usb toys appear to be deficient in comparison.
- ssl-3 2y agoThat all makes sense, but: Isn't a pro likely to be inclined to keep the most correct portable USB brick with their portable soldering iron? They are universal, after all -- at least downwardly. And what may be some examples of a "pro" soldering iron that uses a buck converter (or transformer taps or whatever) to be flexible to a variety of input voltages?
