This should be a good way to restrict dodgy business practices

    Let's hope so, the EU has been on a good streak lately regarding consumer rights.

    Yeah the idea of only needing to purchase and carry one charging brick and USB-C cable for all devices I own is lovely.

    Only issue kind of is smart watches.

    but trying to fit a receptacle in a smart watch is also not a good solution.

    including a small usb-c to whatever the hell adapter would be great too. just so the cable isn't in the way all the time.

    I mean I imagine most all smart watches will switch to a portless design with a wireless puck, then you just make the puck detachable from the cable and with a USB-C port on the side. Problem solved.

    My Apple Watch has a usb-c cable with a puck. One charging brick is sufficient, at least for my iPhone, Kindle and Watch. But there are so many other devices

    The issue is then that's one USB-C to Cable for all your devices except for the watch which needs one USB-C to puck... The solution would be a puck with a detachable USB-C to C cable.

    Then I could take a Laptop, Phone, Tablet (if required) and Watch and just one cable/charging brick.

    How is this going to impact quick battery swap arrangments?
