They’re probably going to need to include it during the transition period. Not everyone is flush with C charging cables if they’re been in lighting land and don’t have a Mac or a newer Windows machine.

Not sure what kind of insulation they use in their cables. It sure feels nice and rubbery, but they seem to be falling apart regardless of how you use it after a few years because the insulation got brittle over time. Are they using natural rubber or something? I live in the tropics so the abundance of UV makes rubber products fall apart faster here. Hopefully braided cables last longer.

The cable for my M2 MBA is braided and the quality feels equal to my braided Anker usb-c cables and I’ve had those for the better part of a decade without any issues. So I’d imagine if these are infact the new iPhone cables they should probably be good too.

I like mag safe at time, but USB C charging is faster, less hot, not as bulky in the hand, and requires less outlets if everything in your home is using the same port, etc.

Personally, wireless isn’t fast enough about half the time and current high-power charging can charge even iPhones up extremely fast to the point I’d rather plug in for 20 minutes then sit my phone on the Qi charger for an hour. However, that would change if wireless charging technology caught up.

I don't like that in order to use my phone while it's charging on a wireless charger, I need to pick up the whole wireless charger, wire and all, and then it kind of defeats the purpose.

I think it doesn't work well for people who need to have their phones in their hands at all times (me).

But it's the bestest cable they have ever made
