Reminds me of issues I had with the Wahoo Elemnt Bolt bike computer:

For some weird reason it cannot charge if you plug the other end of the USB-C cord to a Apple made charger. It works with all other USB-C wall bricks.

Never understood what that was about

Apple follows the standards. It probably tries to negotiate power before sending it; the other bricks just apply voltage no matter what.

This is my understanding as well.

Pretty sure the apple chargers will only work if the cable supports the charger’s max watt output.
