Considering using fast charging all the time, especially when you don't really need the speed, dramatically decreases battery life you'd think phone manufacturers would be giving cheap, high quality USB C cables that guaranteed fast charging away to help kill the batteries and drive more phone sales. Something evil capitalists would do, right?

Considering the value fast charging adds to my life, I am fine with it dying faster. I am willing to pay for that convenience. Same with cars.

Remembering to plug in my phone at night, or carrying around portable spare batteries is a thing of the past now. It's great!
