Can you still fast charge with usb2?

Like you, haven’t transferred files via cable in over a decade.

Yeah I can dump like 20-30 watts into my iPhone 12. It goes from 0 to 100 in under an hour, maybe 50% in 20 min.

I didn’t look what kind of input wattage new phone handles but I doubt it went backwards. Even MagSafe charges at about 15 watts.
