    Wait… Wait, what? The new apple type-c cable has a proprietary end to it?

    What the actual fuck? It’s not just the standard USB-A? WHY?

      Sorry if my post was confusing. The first point was referring to cables for iPhones before the latest iPhone 15 models — previously, you’d get a cable that was standard USB-C on one end, and Lightning (the proprietary connector) on the other. You could use those cables along with any standard USB-C charging brick to charge the phone. My point was that the charging brick does not need to be proprietary, and the proprietary part (the cable) was included with the phone.

      All iPhone 15 models use completely standard USB-C and come with a C to C cable in the box.
