My Sony Xperia phone had a cable that connected to standard usb charger, this was before the first iPhone. From my memory Moto Razr 2 used micro usb b cable to standard usb. There where plenty of phones before iPhone that had charging cable that connected to standard usb charger.

> The iPhone was the first mass market consumer phone to come with a cable that connected to a standard usb charger.

And had a device end connector that didn’t change every other model. Some phones used standard connectors for that but plenty didn’t, and manufacturers would sometimes change the connector without rhyme or reason.

I’m pretty sure my motorolas had a usb charger on device side before iPhone was a thing .
