My phone charges from 0 to 100 in an hour and a half with USB C to C. And my phone's charging speed is below average.
Using USB A to C, it takes something like 4 or 5 hours. I usually charge my phone while watching TV or playing video games, so this is a big deal for my use case.
My laptop, desktop, and server all have USB C.
At this point, I'm throwing away all cables and charging bricks that use USB A. It just doesn't provide enough power.
I don’t even care about the power but am doing this where possible. I don’t always have the latest gadgets but when I get up to date, I like to be up to date so things last longer
I use USB-A, and it never takes that much time. Perhaps your bricks do not offer 4-5 amps, as many USB-A chargers do. Apple's USB-A bricks sucked. I think they may have been 1 amp (i.e. 5 watts)
Apple still limits USB-C charging to 20 watts. They do not support USB Power Delivery.
My point is more that you don't need to rush out and change all your chargers. Replace only as needed. It isn't like you can't charge from USB-A.
