New iphone ships with a beautiful braided USB-C cable that's charge only. I'm going to cannibalize the usb-c cable from my external nvme drive if I ever want to plug the new phone in. Some usb-c cables are 100W compliant, many are not. None of them are clearly labeled.

The new iPhone ships with a USB 2.0 cable, it does data transfer, just not at USB 3 speeds

I think the regular is USB 2 and the pro is USB 3

The cable is the same for both devices though
