Satechi GaN USB-C Wall Chargers: faster, better, cheaper
Another great feature of both of the two 3-port chargers in the article are that all of the ports are truly PD (Power Delivery) and therefore able to negotiate voltages other than 5V and therefore can all provide more than 15W with PD capable devices.https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1520/4366/files/66W_3-Port_GaN_Wall_Charger.pdf?v=1626884143
Many of the other portable multi-port chargers from various providers on Amazon, or wherever, say that they are PD, which they probably are, but as soon as you plug in a second cable or device, all of the ports revert to, or stay at 5V with a maximum of 15W or less, and they don’t always say so in the big or small print. -
Fast charging the Apple Watch Series 7 requires 5W USB-C PD adapter or better

The AW 7 and new charging cable need at least 5W to get faster charging.I am pretty sure that you do not need a PD Charger, but Apple only sells USB-C PD chargers, all of which provide at least 12W without invoking PD voltage switching.

Android executive offers to help Apple deploy RCS messaging
Here is the current link to AT&T Advanced Messaging using RCS Universal Protocol 1.0. If you look into the details you will see that for them it only works between AT&T Postpaid users with devices that support and have enabled the RCS Universal Protocol 1.0
