The switch to USB-C is good! Except for all the dongles you’ll need to get there.

You probably won’t get full charging speed. An actual type-c cable gives higher watts than lightning.

I have a $2 USB C cable I got off of Ali that I use to charge my laptop at 65W. It's rated for 100W but I have no way of testing it.

It's actually higher quality than any official apple cable I've used, although that's a pretty low bar.

That sounds a bit too good to be true.

You probably won’t get full charging speed.

Then why not just use a USB C cable?
