USB was supposed to rule them all but it’s now a mess of standards sharing the same connector. Different speeds, voltage, charging protocols, alt modes, even the number of pins used is variable… For those asking, the thing is available on Kickstarter

    I just bought an expensive c-type ($18) which said superfast on its packing only to found out now its charging speed is super slow: more than 3 hrs to charge my phone while another c-type I have does it in less than 1.5 hrs.

      Yeah, unfortunately fast data and fast charging are two independent characteristics…
