Which Mac's port use to charge iPhone (USB-A or USB-C)

Hi. I use Mac mini (2018 Intel) to charge iPhone.


Mac mini has USB‑A and Thunderbolt 3 (USB‑C).


Is it any difference which cable to use for charging iPhone?

  1. cable USB-A > Lighting
  2. cable Thunderbolt (USB-C) > Lighting


Does USB-C port will charge iPhone faster?


Thanks.

Mac mini, macOS 11.2

USB-C is the only fast charging connection.
