Streaks: The to-do list that helps you form good habits. For iPhone, iPad and Mac.

As we’ve detailed in the past, it can be quite confusing when trying to find the correct USB-C cable for your devices. Even though the connectors all look the same, USB-C cables all meet different standards for power delivery speeds, data transfer, and more. Here are the highlights of the USB-IF’s announcements today:
USB-IF establishes new Certified USB Type-C Cable Logos to display cable power capabilities in watts, clearly indicating support for 60W or 240W as defined by the USB Power Delivery 3.1 Specification.
Certified USB4 Logos updated in parallel to unify branding across the Certified USB Logo Program.
These beautiful, totally professionally-designed new logos will clear it all up, I’m sure. Perhaps with a little regulatory help from the product design savants on the European Commission.
