Can anyone explain the various charging cables for Iphones, andriods, etc?

#1

Used to be same charging cable for iphones but now there is the usbc-lighting cable for new iphone 11pro.
There is the usb cable for android phones and tablets.
I think there is usbc-a also.

Is there a cable that will work all all devices? What are the difference between usbc, usbca, etc?

Thanks

I personally like this cable because it has all the bases covered:

You really only need a USB-C to Lightning cable if you’re interested in fast charging your iPhone (here’s more information on Apple’s website). In this case, you’ll need a USB-C charger to plug into the wall, like this one:

If you don’t need to fast charge, there’s nothing wrong with the cables you’re using now. :+1:
