I keep reading that the switch to USB on iphone is great because now we can carry around just one charger.

Is this really the case for most people? My MacBook is USB C, but other than that and my Nintendo Switch I don’t think I own anything that uses USB C - at least not stuff I would consider daily carry.

Airpods pro - lightning/wireless Ipad - lightning Apple watch - proprietary charger

Don’t get me wrong, I like the switch to USB, but for me it means one more cable.

    Yes I’m 100% USB-C except my work provided 14 Pro Max which is really annoying. I travel for work and laptops have been USB-C powered for a while, and Bose, Sony, Samsung etc all moved over to it about 3 years ago. It really helps to be able to take 2 chargers for everything (and my Laptop charger is my fast charger for everything!).

    It’s a great connector, fast, flexible and now a mature system. Obviously Apple grasped onto lightning connector for as long as possible to milk all the last profits they can out of it. They knew USB-C was better, that’s why they went that way on the iPad and MacBook Pro’s, but it took the EU to force them to do a good move for their customers on iphones. That stinks if you ask me

    I’m mainly USB-C on everything except my AirPods Pro 2 with the lightning case. It’s been okay for me though since I still have an Apple Watch charger around, so that same charger will charge the case. I also frequently use a 3-in-1 MagSafe anker charger that connects via usbc so I also usually charge it on the wireless charging pad behind the MagSafe charger or on the Apple Watch charger.
