[QUOTE="jondle, post: 1466119, member: 2598"] This is way more technical than I thought anyone on here would care about, but your question is why I said, "generally speaking" above. Technically speaking, the connector (USB-C, USB-A, micro-USB, etc.) has nothing to do with how much power the port can provide. Power directly corresponds to how fast your device can charge; more power = more fast. USB-C however is generally tightly coupled with both USB 3.1, which increases the power capability over 2.0, and more importantly USB-PD (power delivery). USB versions (2, 3, 3.1, etc.) focus on data transfer rates where PD is specifically dealing with power delivery. USB-PD is a set of standards that function very similar to Qualcomm's QuickCharge (QC), but it is built as a USB standard instead of a technology that must be licensed from Qualcomm. Essentially, if both sides support the technology, the initial connection is made using the USB standard low amp 5V, but both ends negotiate supported voltages and the charger can step the voltage up while keeping the current the same (generally 3amp), giving you more power and faster charge times. I supposed you could implement USB-PD with a USB-A connector, but I've never seen it. That is why the new MacBooks and many other laptops use USB-C chargers; it is convenient and previous USB implementation couldn't provide the power required. So in my case, the important part is actually the "PD" part of the USB-C port. I had a phone that supported QC a few years ago, but I think that technology is dying as PD becomes more universal. You can see the USB-A port under the C port support QC. The other USB port is blue, indicating 3.0 or 3.1, but it is connected directly to the head unit so it most likely does not actually support more than 2.0. It is just dumb to buy less than 3.0 in anything in 2020. Unrelated side note, the USB-PD standard also includes "reverse charging". Which would allow you to use your phone (or any USB-C device that implements it) as a portable battery to charge other devices. Think about charging your blutooth headphones from your phone while on the go or your wife's iPhone, which is perpetually dead (too close to home), as examples. One day you may be able to jump your car from your phone over the USB port. [/QUOTE]
