Thing is, it matters out there because you cannot charge a modern USB device at a distance over 2 meters or so simply due to cable voltage losses.
Which is absolutely fine in your house, where you can put your phone on a nightstand, and move the nightstand right on top of a power outlet. But in the real world, you can't always get the one starbucks table that is hovering two meters distance power outlet to a table.
But what I'm getting at mainly is that I am disappointed that more micro USB cable manufacturers have not standardized on 20 AWG. Its literally a few strands of copper more expensive, probably two pennies worth of copper - having zero downside. And yet, they stick with 24 (and even 28 awg) A tablet user is probably used to putting their tablet on the floor, just so that it works with a 50 cm cable.
USB C? Its actually an inferior design from a power physical standpoint. Sure, they can up the voltages and push 100 watts, but the connector is actually ass backwards to having two thick power lines (and two data lines) Two power lines, like a house outlet (and one ground)
Even more retarded are the USB solar panel manufacturers who insist on using a pigtail, and then attaching it to the center of the panel. Absolutely retarded.
If I made the rules, I'd have a micro USB trade-in program, where you can recycle your old 28 AWG for a loonie - and get a brand new 20 AWG cable back.
