So it's not an android thing, it's a problem of some phones that use android. And since it's not a problem with the system you can't say that apple stole it from android.

And thousands others have VOOC, Dash/Dart/warp/supervooc charge compatible phones that don’t.
Commence the downvotes, android fanboys

Will supervooc and other phones also charge with the 65W of usb-c?

This isn’t anything new. USB C cables need to be rated and certified for power draw and data transfer. Do you think a $10 USB C cable from Amazon could fast charge any phone or offer TB3 speeds? Heck no.

Nope. Using samsung a51, my macbook usb-c charger fast charges just fine.

That is because lightning cable is proprietary and require apple certification. Not so much with your usbc though.

If that compatibility breaking gives me 120w charging, 100% within 30 min, why not. Not so much when it gives me 20w max though, and cap non-apple charger to like 5-10w.

You don’t need to use Apple branded cables. Any mfi certified cable will work. They’re a dime a dozen on Amazon.

If you are talking about some of the insane charging speeds by chinese phones, i think it is because they deliver 120w which is higher than other charger/cables.

That’s not what the AI’s role would be. The human will make the decision to fire at something or someone, but they wouldn’t need you to operate its movement. So you tell the AI robot dog to kill that thing, then it moves, aims and fires on its own. So the human is making the determination what is a school bus and and enemy combatant, not the AI.

That's literally the same thing as what Apple is doing... it's not a bonus, it's breaking compatibility maliciously.

No - OnePlus gives you a bonus if you use their charger. But they don't penalize you for using someone else's.
It's like this: buy the OnePlus charger, and you get 200% charging speed! SuperVook ftw.
Buy any other charger, you get 100% of it's charging speed.
Apple is going: buy our charger, you get 100%. Use any other charger, you suffer with 60% speed.

You don't understand how fast charging works, do you?

Right. You have to use decent cables, not the minimal-level older designs. This is not some kind of vendor lock-in. You can use any cable that supports modern standards.

Isn't Samsung, who's been using USB since the inception of their mobile phones, doing the same thing? I'm pretty sure you need a Samsung cable or dock to access fast charging. Not saying the practice is good, but I don't think Apple is the first to do this.

Some android phones need specific cables, otherwise their quick charge won’t work.

I think that's one of the proprietary systems, I don't know whether their more recent products will support standard high speed charging.
