To add to this I’ve just had USB-C cause a major inconvenience; it appears the USB-C cable I brought with me doesn’t play nice with the official Apple charger and my laptop is now out of charge. It’s an AmazonBasics cable that worked fine with an Anker charger for ages so I didn’t think it would be a problem. I’m in a remote country with no Apple Stores in sight and so my only alternative is to play roulette by buying random unbranded cables from the local mall and hope they won’t have the same issue (given even AmazonBasics is apparently not good enough for the Apple charger) nor blow up my laptop by being completely out of spec (happened to that Google guy that was testing cables, can’t remember his name now).
