    That’s great if you have usb-c devices already (which somehow most people do). I’m going to have to replace every charger in multiple places (3-7 at home, 2 in the car, 3 at work) with entirely new ones. I literally have nothing that charges from usb-c.

      Are you really surprised that most people have some sort of device with a connector that came out 8 years ago? This isn’t exactly new technology, It’s so common now it’s even on super cheap stuff. I bought an electronic lighter from Amazon last summer and it charges with USB C.

        Honestly yes. I didn’t realize so many people have things that need to be charged. I don’t particularly update my tech unless it breaks, so literally nothing has moved for me.

      I hear you, but I think a lot of us just amortized that cost over time as we’ve gotten those devices, same as you will now, but at least it’s cheaper to start now than 5 years ago?
