This is coming across as more than a bit delusional. Adding a new standard to a charger is not “forcing” anyone to avoid other chargers in any sense. AVS adds functionality to this charger, it doesn’t take it away from other ones.
- dangus 1y agoIf AVS is only part of the USB-C PD spec over 100W then yes Apple is doing something non-standard and not "adding a new standard." They're going to make 3rd party charger providers add some Apple-specific logic that isn't in the PD spec and isn't used by any other devices if this is true. If this is true, then if you own a 3rd party charger that is up-to-date with the very latest USB PD specs, your charger is going to charge an iPhone 17/Air/17 Pro more slowly than buying Apple's new charger. (I don't claim to know the technical details of whether AVS is part of the spec below 100W or not, I am just going by the comments in this thread and speaking of the hypothetical)
- dangus 1y agoSince I wrote my comment I found out that yes this is a standard, the 3.2 version of USB-PD. https://youtu.be/TYEqCgMnA8U https://youtu.be/TYEqCgMnA8U
