I'm back here again. I feel bad that I keep asking questions that make them have to go in the back room. :)
Well, data is data. For reference, and disclosure, I'll be testing against only Mac products. (Borrowed MacBook Pro 13" w/ Touchbar.)
PS: The manager apparently had her "last day" send-off celebration. Seven years. Staff was celebrating and clapping. Congrats to them!

Apple replaced their previous 29W brick with the 30W, which ostensibly should be compliant with the more recent USB-PD revisions. I don't have one myself. Knowing them, though, color me surprised if they aren't doing the same legacy/nonstandard 5.2V/2.4A at the basic 5V level.7w
+Johnny Cheung This claims 5v/3a 9v/3a 15v/2a 20v/1.5a on the side. Looks like a winner.7w
+Nathan K. That's a departure from all their previous USB-C bricks, damn. Looks like I know what I'll be getting this month. Thanks!7w
Brad Cox+1I’m interested to hear your thoughts on the 30W adapter, it looks like they changed a lot with this one.7w
+Brad Cox It's very good. It might bump off the Google 22.5w as my favorite travel charger, especially since the Apple 30w has (a) IEC60320 C8 "figure 8" receptacle [universal internationally] (b) grounding lug [no leakage current/"fuzziness"] and (c) 20v charging [Surface laptop OK!]7w
+Nathan K. Did a quick test. I've replaced my last Android phone with a Nokia 7 Plus, which can 'charge rapidly' with either 5V/3A or 9V/2A. About 90% battery atm though. On the old 29W it's stuck at 5V and feels like I'm using one of those Apple 5W cubes that are still included with current iPhones, lol. Popped in the 30W and it requested 9V (about 1A).7w
