> Plug one end into a charger with a USB-A port (very common among phone chargers) and the other end into a charger with a USB-C port (Apple's chargers seem to be like this?).

It's forbidden to make a charger like that unless it has a chip that actually speaks the protocol and does power negotiation properly. Same for anything that has a female USB-C port.
