Saw this on Slickdeals - https://slickdeals.net/f/12629398-2...rger-2x-3-3-usb-type-c-cable-45-free-shipping

Monoprice branded but USB-IF certified. These are a great deal IMO, and the increased interest in USB-C PD chargers made it feel worthwhile to post this.

Another great deal - https://slickdeals.net/f/12637123-m...-2-cable-black-12-free-shipping-via-monoprice

$12 for 45W USB-C PD Charger + cable. Appears to be USB-IF certified as well

So can this safely be used with an XS Max since it's above Apple's fast-charging wattage (30W)?

Yes but you’d need a certified usb c to lightning wire.

Yes. USB-C PD specifically has "power negotiation" where it will decide on the safe power levels the device can accept. You could connect a 100W USB-C PD charger to your XS Max and it will negotiate at a max of 18W.

Yes but you’d need a certified usb c to lightning wire.

The good news is that third party options will soon be available, and you're not limited to Apple's options - e.g. https://www.macrumors.com/2019/01/14/anker-usb-c-lightning-cables-march/ - but unfortunately you'll have to wait.

If Monoprice is ok with shipping forwarders this is a good deal.

Otherwise, having to pay another 40 USD for DHL shipping to Singapore is too steep for this
