It does feel kind of spiteful. But honestly, it is surprisingly difficult to find USB 3 USB-C cables anyway. Most of them are USB 2 unless you spring for Thunderbolt cables.
No they're not? At least when I check amazon or any other online retailer, USB-C cables are almost always USB 3.0 or higher. Only the ultra cheap ones are not.
We’re talking USB-C to USB-C right?
Do you have links for some of the ones you looked at? Because I checked a few Anker and Apple cables and they were all USB 2.0.
It does seem to be easier to get USB 3 Type A to type C cables, but not C to C.
I was skeptical but then I went to the Google store and looked at their USB-C cables and they are also USB 2.0 speeds.
There's nothing more spiteful than not buying either of them
I swear I have a USB C cable that charges faster oriented one way. I haven't really proved it or anything but it really does feel like it. Maybe I'm crazy. Is it possible? It's "normal" USB on the other side.
You aren't crazy, but barring any defects or damage this shouldn't be happening
I had a cable which only charged plugged in one way up. I assume some of the pins were damaged.
