Apple's USB-C cable (called: "USB-C Charge Cable") supports 97w charging and USB 2.0 data transfer speeds.

Apple only has one other USB-C <-> USB-C cable and that's the "Thunderbolt 3 Cable" which supports everything in USB 3.1 Gen 2

The Apple USB-C charge cable ( https://www.apple.com/in/shop/product/MM093ZM/A/usb-c-charge... ) is supposed to be used with a 20W power adapter for iPad. The Thunderbolt USB-C cable is the one that supports up to 100W ( https://www.apple.com/in/shop/product/MQ4H2ZM/A/thunderbolt-... ).

The 2m one is “designed” to be used with MacBooks.

The 1m also supports 97W charging. I have the 2m (shipped with my MacBook Pro) and the 1m (shipped with my iPad Air) and I can confirm they charge my MacBook the same.

I don't get it. Isn't the point of the EU directive that the cables are interchangeable to reduce waste? Why do different cables behave differently then?
