"Many devices marketed with a USB-C port may lack the internal components needed to negotiate power delivery, rendering them unable to charge with typical USB-C chargers."
"The frustrating aspect is that despite the presence of a USB-C port on some gadgets, they still require an older USB-A cable to function properly."
"Some USB-C chargers inexplicably provide power to non-compliant devices, highlighting inconsistencies within the USB-C standard and manufacturer practices."
"The absence of basic components in some USB-C devices, like resistors for power negotiation, means that users often face charging failures when attempting to use generic USB-C chargers."
Many modern devices that feature a USB-C port do not support USB-C charging protocols due to omissions in necessary hardware components. This results in failure to charge when plugged into standard USB-C chargers because the devices cannot negotiate power requirements. In contrast, USB-A delivers power automatically at 5V. Devices lacking negotiation support often include USB-A to USB-A cables. Some non-compliant USB-C chargers may provide power to such devices despite their design shortcomings, leading to inconsistency in user experiences.
