TL;DR 1.5 m cable, instead of 1 m. Color-matched and braided.

    It really comes down to the way you use it. As others have mentioned you don’t even need one to get the job done. And it’s true that beyond a certain length it’s sort of impractical; mostly just for show.

    In all seriousness, being that they’re using standard C ends, I’m a little surprised they’re going to include one at all.

      They’re probably going to need to include it during the transition period. Not everyone is flush with C charging cables if they’re been in lighting land and don’t have a Mac or a newer Windows machine.

      … I don’t know what you mean that beyond a certain length it’s impractical. I keep 6-10ft USB C cables everywhere. I view 3 feet as the minimum useful length to me, at least because honestly much shorter than I don’t even have a place to rest my phone while it charges. I was looking at even getting a 15-20 foot cable for my living room since all my outlets are kinda far from the couch.
