Hot damn! Thank you, EU. Maybe we'll finally be able to climb out of connector hell.
The beauty is that it will start extending to devices like notebooks. So goodbye those stupid barrel plugs most still use that all vary in size for whatever goddam reason.
Mice too. Why no one makes usbc dongles is just insane to me. Even if it was an extra $10 give us the option.
I'm already out of the connector hell for several years by buying only devices with USB-C.
The iPhone doesn't have USB-C, I don't even consider buying one.
My new connector hell is trying to find a micro usb cable to charge that one device I still have that uses it.
