It seems like OEMs are becoming brave enough to stop bundling a USB charging cable in their phone’s packaging.

    Hot take, I don’t mind it - my drawer of questionably compliant OEM cables is overflowing. Less plastic waste is a win, as long as everyone sticks to USB-C.

      The issue is there’s a dozen different types of usb-c and not all cords are compatible with each type.

        The cable you get with a phone is going to be the most basic of basic charging cables there is.

          Wasnt the case, at least for me. My phone supports up to 30W charging, and the only cable i have that supports that is the one that came with the phone

        and 99% of the use of the cable for most phones is charging… which pretty much any crap cable will do just fine, and fast

        and the remaining cables… who is really using weird special modes on cables for their phone?
