USBC advocates who talk about “a single cable”. Do y’all really only charge one device at a time? Or will y’all be traveling with 2, 3, or 4 USBC cables when iPhone transitions?
I have two USB-C cables on my desk plus a Lightning cable.
Those two cables will charge my two laptops, my mouse, my PS5 controller, my iPad Pro, and my battery packs. I rarely find a scenario where I need to charge more than 2 at once.
Meanwhile the Lightning cable is only ever for my phone.
Yes, you want more than one cable, but USB-C means you can just have a couple of identical chargers that are big enough for your largest device but can charge anything. No more trying to find the right charger for the right device.
