USB-C vs Lightning: Which Cable Should You Buy?
Most new Android phones and many accessories now use USB-C. iPhone models still split between Lightning and USB-C depending on the year. If your phone has a USB-C port, buy a USB-C to USB-C cable for the fastest charge. If it still uses Lightning, a dedicated Lightning cable is more reliable than a cheap 3-in-1. Keep one 3-in-1 in the bag for guests and older devices — and use a matched cable at the desk..

Keep Earbuds Alive Longer
Wireless earbuds last longer when you avoid draining them to zero every day. Drop them in the case between uses, wipe the charging contacts, and don't leave the open case in a hot car.

How Many Watts Do You Actually Need?
A 20W PD adapter is enough for most phones and will charge faster than old 5W bricks. 65W GaN makes sense if you also charge a tablet or a light laptop from the same plug. Car chargers should have two ports if two people ride together. More watts will not harm a phone that negotiates Power Delivery — the device only draws what it needs. Match the cable too: a thin no-name cable can bottleneck a good adapter.
