Apple finally switched to the USB-C port with the iPhone 15 series at its Wanderlust event. While having a ubiquitous port for all phones (and most other gadgets) is a good thing, there is a dire need to label USB-C cables to understand their full capability.

At the outset, USB-C is simple. You can probably grab any USB-C cable lying around to charge your compatible phone. But unless you pay close attention, the combo of cable and power brick might not be charging your device at the optimum speed. That is because it might not adapt to the charging standards and speed of your phone.
