In any case, the connector can. In addition, the logic inside the slave is also different because the latest USB3 can consume more current and allow the input voltage to be higher than the original USB (1) standard, which is normalized to 5 V - 500 mA. Nowadays, USB cables can withstand higher currents (up to 3 amps in my opinion), so the wire thickness should reflect these higher requirements.
When connecting a high current USB3 device (for charging), I recommend staying away from ultra low-cost cables. Another thing to consider is turning off the power before disconnecting the mini plug used today. At high currents, this can cause sparks and premature failure of the connector. "Not so much is the cable a problem as destroying the USB socket on an IE phone can be costly.". When the connection is usually not a problem, the device will enter a high current negotiation before providing high current (if both parties agree), but I think it is best to avoid unplugging the cable during maximum charging.
