USB C is faster (and can't be plugged in the wrong way) Poor people use USB A

When apple sold the iphone 11, they included a USB C brick and USB c lightning cable.

With the iphone 12 and iphone 13, they include USB C cable only.

You are 100% right, it is embarrassing the corners they cut. 

[JustinCharge 2,397]

there are USB jokes.

 

Problem: there are 27 competing standards
Action: Create a single universal standard for all use cases
Result: There are 28 competing standards

 

I love how the first letter of Usb means “Universal”. They sure had a sense of humor

 

Moral to the story: you can either have universal compatibility or you can just keep getting better.

 

The best thing about standards, is that there's so many to choose from.

 

The main guy behind USB recently died. At the funeral they lowered the coffin down brought it back up turned it over and lowered it again

 

The introduction of USB: "there are too many plugs, we need one plug to do everything!"
twelve thousand USB plugs later "there are too many plugs, we need one plug to do everything!"

 

A computer-illiterate friend of mine calls the USB logo "The Cactus".

All of our laptops at work have 2 USB C charging ports.  Very nice.

Where did you get it because Apple watches come with charging cables. I guess I don’t understand your problem.

[Strike 3,968]

I'm ok with them not including a charger.  Everyone should have several already.  They're a general purpose charger that works with everything.  I'd like us to be more focused on recycling and not being wasteful.  I get that large corporations look for ways to cut corners and make more money, but the only reason they feel comfortable cutting this out is that they know most people already have the charger.  It's a win win for corporations trying to be better stewards of our planet.  They can do that and make more money.  Or offer the item at a lower price.  Either way, I'm ok with it.

[Gladiators 1,904]

Relax.  I'll leave one there for her this afternoon.

USB-C will be the standard for quite some time, both the European union and Brazil signed it into law which means the rest of the world will follow suite.

 

 

https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20220607-eu-to-require-single-charger-for-all-smartphones-to-combat-electronic-waste

The EU member states and parliament on Tuesday agreed the text of a law imposing a standard charger for smartphones and tablets sold in the bloc, in a blow to Apple. For most portable devices the requirement for charging via a USB Type-C port will come into effect from late 2024, the European Parliament's press service said.

The EU believes a standard cable for all devices will cut back on electronic waste, but iPhone juggernaut Apple argues that a one-size-fits-all charger would slow innovation and create more pollution.

The bloc is home to 450 million people, some of the world's richest consumers, and the imposition of the USB-C as a cable standard could affect the entire global smartphone market.

"This new law will make the lives of European consumers easier and will be better for the environment," said MEP Andrey Kovatchev, one of the negotiators.

How long before libs start complaining about the use of the terms male/female to describe connectors on plugs and cables? 

[Gepetto 985]

My new Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 only has USB-C but did come with one USB-A adapter which I use for the mouse dongle (hate that word).  It only has 2 USB-C and either are used with the charge cord as well.  My only complaint though is it only has two.  I know I can buy an adapter to plug more in.

Apple shares are up 76,105.34% over the past 20 years because of stupid ass gadgets like these.

No it isn't. I'd be pissed too.

I couldn't tell you what kind of cord I have if you put a gun in my head. Last court I got? I went to 7-Eleven you got me way too much. But all I did was try them all and find one that fit.

 

 

Would definitely be cool if there was a universal link  but I don't know. I don't know what they're thinking.

Recycling is a scam.
