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.

      … 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.

      There’s no way an 8 inch cable works for you. 8 inches wouldn’t even span the distance from my car charger to a phone clamp or from my computer to my desk.

      3 ft is barely tolerable for me. 6 feet gives me enough room to move my phone around.

        8 would work for my desk, my car, my bed and the one that sits on my counter. 3ft is too much cord and I end up with a lot hanging. 6ft is definitely too much.

        Then again I don’t use anything when it’s charging, so my use case is out of the norm
