    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Four phones, not a Lightning port in sight — Apple is all in on USB-C.

    To make the transition easier, Apple is now selling a bunch of predictably expensive new cables and dongles.

    Or, for $29, you can get a two-meter cable that supports up to 240 watts of charging power.

    It’s a meter long, and it supports data transfer up to 40Gbps, which is about 20x as fast as USB 2.

    (I should remind you here that the beauty of USB-C is that Apple’s not the only company in charge of it.

    Just get the charger that matches your charging speed and your wall plug, and you’re golden.)
