"Cross-Platform Charging: iPhone 15 and Android Phones Embrace USB-C Compatibility"

The iPhone 15 series, which will adopt USB-C, will allow Android phones and iPhones to share power with each other. Android phones have had this capability for years, but it hasn't been possible in the other direction until now. A YouTube video demonstrates an iPhone 15 sharing power with a Google Pixel Fold using a USB-C cable. Android phones have the ability to control USB usage and can charge connected devices, so it is expected that the feature will work in the other direction as well. While this feature may not be used frequently, it promotes unity between iPhone and Android users.

"Head-to-Head: Cadillac Lyriq vs. Model Y - Charging Speed and Popularity Compared"

A test of the Cadillac Lyriq's DC fast charging capabilities revealed that the vehicle was able to charge at a maximum rate of 188 kW, close to its stated maximum of 190 kW. However, the charging rate gradually reduced after reaching a peak, resulting in a slow charging speed. In a 40-minute session, the Lyriq was only able to add back 60% of its battery, translating to 187 EPA-rated miles added. Further testing is needed to fully assess the vehicle's charging capabilities.
