However, Power Delivery has largely taken over. Devices like the Google Pixel no longer support Qualcomm QuickCharge. Additionally, properly designed USB-A to USB-C cables will signal Power Delivery devices to limit charging current to 1.5A. This can limit such charging devices to 7.5W charging(!) if connected using a cable like the one in this deal to a standard USB-A.
This kind of cable can actually make sense as part of an intentional slow charging setup (say, for 5W or 2.5W overnight charging in concert with a low-wattage USB power adapter).
Good luck!

The current generation of iPhones now uses the same connector as Android.
It would not work with older iPhones.
Good luck!

They probably won't read this message because the internet is too complicated for them.....
For charging USB generation doesn't matter so much which is what most people buying cables are using them for; just make sure they can handle the rated power of the charger/device. Unless you are connecting to an external drive you'd probably just use bluetooth or wifi or the cloud to move files around on a phone.
I just ordered two cables tonight, but not the ones in this listing. One is USB-2 rated for 100W power which I only intend to use to charge things and likely nothing else. The other is USB 3.1 gen2 because I needed a cable that was USB-A on one end for an external drive capable of 10Gbps...
Why do you care what other people use anyway?
