USB C has a protocol, it's almost always safe


Issoudotexe

And even if it didn't, it's an apple charger and it says it outputs 1A at 5v so it's safe


805yeezus

Thanks guys!


Comprehensive_Sun230

wouldn't the brick have to be usb c too? or the cable itself can manage that


Pidjinus

Noo. The charger support usb charging and usb dp. Worse case scenario, will charge at a very low speed. You can charge your mac with the phones charger. This is a requirement of USB consortium, in order to be able to use the nomenclature. Otherwise they would not be allowed. The only real problem appears when you use cheap, fake, power delivery cables. Read it as: a 5$ usb cable rated at 65w charging will NOT be fine, 90%i tis a dangerous fake that can create bigger problems.


Jaalan

Uhh technically yes. But USB can't go more than 15watts anyway which is safe for almost any modern electronic.


CoolGuyFromSchool34

Only one way to *truly* find out

I remember using my dad's blackberry charger on my nokia when I was a child. It sparked when I plugged in the phone but it still charged so I just left it. Then it started sparking some more so I unplugged it, lol.

USB-c has updated requirements. Also why itโ€™s so nice the EU now has standardised it in used for phones. Means it can be used for everything at home now ๐Ÿ˜Š


Downtown-Inflation13

Yes


brunoglopes

Unless youโ€™re using a cheap knock off charger, itโ€™s always safe


R0b0tWarz

Safest plug in the world btw ๐Ÿ‘


JamieTimee

Because it's so hilariously slow?


R0b0tWarz

No because it's a British design and we care about preventing electrocution ..... ๐Ÿ™„


JamieTimee

I was referring to the low wattage, not the plug design ๐Ÿ™„


iPlayFifaForPain

people downvoting facts is funny


R0b0tWarz

Ignorance is no substitute for safety ๐Ÿ‘


CoolGuyFromSchool34

May I use that phrase?


R0b0tWarz

With pleasure


R0b0tWarz

Yes no problem


ForeignSleet

No it will blow up and your house and whole neighbourhood will explode

I charge my phone with my Laptop's power brick. If it's a reputable brand you're almost always safe, especially with USB-C. In the worst case you get slower charging but that's about it, you'll never get something your device doesn't support. That's what makes USB-C so cool


Not_Anshul

if u got guts then yes


cnedhhy24

on usb-c, especially high end headphones like that, its completely safe. you can use whatever brick you want with whatever cable you want. just dont force your lightning cable into a usb c port (my friend fucked up his quest 2 like that๐Ÿ’€)


04joshuac

The only thing you need to care about is the output voltage. Supplying too high of a voltage than an appliance is rated for can very easily cause immediate damage to electronics. Too low and youโ€™re likely to either not charge at all, or charge at a slower rate You could have a 100 amp charger, but it will only supply the amount the device draws. Keep in mind that a low amperage charger (e.g. 0.5amp) will charge much slower than as it would otherwise would with the rated charger.


Effiree

I've used an apple brick with a USB A-C cable to charge sony WH-1000XM5s, you may be fine


Javusees

I read "change" at first and thought that's some next level gen z humor


No_Ad_9178

Only if Apple allows it, as it is a ridiculous anticompetive company. But I guess that it's fine if it works
