    USB-c are more convenient and have a wider range of uses. We should be moving to that for everything.

    Actually I was disappointed last year …. After reading for so long that Apple was the last remaining holdout for usb-c, I switched my phone and watch, and have been wondering where everyone else is. Why is it still the minority to find USB-C power strips and chargers and power banks and outlets and random devices? In my case, it means I don’t have a clean switch from Lightning to USB-C but now have to buy legacy cables too

      How? Since USB-C has been around for so long, A-C cables have been the norm from the start. Everyone has them already. I don’t see the downside.

        The symmetry and not needing to glance at the end of the plug (or rotate it several times to figure out if it’s rotated wrong or just isn’t aligned properly) is nice.
