Which is fine, I have a full speed USBC cable and it's a thicc boi that I certainly wouldn't want to shove in my pocket all the time and the 2.0 speed ones still charge my laptop even. But Apple is limiting the PORT, not the cable, which isn't cool.

Because they are probably using the same controller, just rewired to usbc, there are videos of this modification being done aftermarket.

They can't limit the cables, they don't even come with the phone anymore

They still come with cables, just not bricks. That’s pretty much across the board on all phone manufacturers unfortunately.

And other “small” devices… hell even my toothbrush came with only a charging cable,.. with an usb-a port,.. and no brick…. FUCK YOU PHILIPS!!! What the F!!!
