Does the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter Fast-Charge the OnePlus Nord 3?
Yes — this combination fast-charges at up to 33W via USB PD.
Both sides speak USB PD, but the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter's port tops out lower than the OnePlus Nord 3's 80W ceiling, so you get 33W instead of the device's absolute max.

|---|---|---|
| Standard 60W-rated cable (3A, not e-marked) | 33W | Not the bottleneck |

| Unrated / unknown cable (assume worst case) | 33W | Cable-limited |
