Ultimately, it's great that users won't need to squint to read the fine print or cross-reference spec sheets once the labels gain popularity.

I can't even read the labels on the cables in the article photos.

EDIT: I get it, you all have 20/10 vision and no astigmatism, thanks for your input.

Reality has a higher resolution than this potato photo.

...Because the image is crappy resolution, its like complaining you can't read without your glasses on.

That bottom one looks embossed instead of printed. At the size of a USB-C cable plug, that's going to be difficult to read outside of ideal lighting conditions.

That's still significantly better than having no markings at all.

It's a sample product packaging that has Lorem ipsum on it

It says 80G 240W, so it's a max speed max wattage spec cable. Not that hard to read even with the low res image really, but that's on techspot for compressing things
