    Techies have a hard time understanding that just because you can look up some speeds easily doesn’t mean jack shit for regular joe trying to buy an usb-c cable.

    Having data speed and wattage indicated on the cable is important, but for most people simply the data speed is enough.

      I can’t remember the last time I cared about data speed for a USB cable, but charging speed is useful when I’m charging my phone before leaving the house.

        Once again, you are probably at least somewhat technical and understand wattage, do you think joe schmoe does? Or do they just charge their phone more often?
