    Please do this for things like rechargeable electric shavers and toothbrushes as well.

    Now if only we can standardize cables or at least labeling. We went from everything working wherever it would plugin to everything plugging in but who knows if it will work

      Imo they should at the very least standardize some color coding and labeling. All charging-only cables are yellow, data cables are blue. Something like that.

      Yup I have noticed this with my new iPhone 16 pro.

      You plug it in and the charging speed as drastically slower than when I use the new ‘official’ apple wireless mag lock (or whatever it’s called) charger.

    Funny how recently as this was unfolding, USBC chargers for certain devices only work for those devices. So yes now we will only have USBC but ones that will only work with the assigned brands

      And iPhone users will snap them up. My wife would pay quadruple for the logo alone.

      “It has to be Apple compatible!”

      I should start a business. Hell, Monster fooled everyone for a decade+ with their high prices and “quality”.

      Was wiring cable internet for a dude, tugged his Monster cable a bit, end fell off in my hand. My god, the insides were appallingly cheap, fabricated from Chinese whispers and toilet paper. Every element here was as cheap as it gets.

      He was a bit upset, a bit surprised. I showed him the differences between the Monster cable and what I was using, made him a new one. Happy camper!

      You do‽ I had no idea. And it’d be great if the standard for USB-C was more than form only.

    Don’t celebrate until the next version of USB comes out. Will this force everyone to adopt the newest version always or cling to the oldest?

      Why are you bringing this up like it hasn’t been discussed thousands of times? Like it hasn’t been stated (and cleared) in this very post?
