> What wattage, enough to charge my phone

Maybe or maybe not. There are plenty of really low watt capable USB C cords that come with headphones for instance.

> What speed, don't really care but it's at least the same as Lightning

That’s not true either. There are plenty of “power only” USB C cables.

I charge my iPhone on an 0.5A source. What's the lowest a cable goes, the USB 2.0 spec of 2A? Even power-only is fine in most cases.

So your definition of standard USB C cable includes nonstandard USB C cables?

  • Those are all part of the “standard” as far as the EU “mandate” is concerned and it does nothing to address the issue.
