Ah also no roaming across countries and having aligned ALL phone producers on the micro USB phone charger standard have been really nice news

  Is that slowing the uptake of USB-C with its standardized Power Delivery fast charging? What does Google ship with Pixels? The same USB-C fast charger and USB-C cable, then toss in a micro-USB to USB-C adapter for regulatory compliance?

    Samsung includes the micro-USB to USB-C adapter. Not sure about Google.

    My Nexus 6P (France, Dec. 2015) came with 1) USB-C fast charger 2) USB-C cable 3) USB-C to USB-A cable No adapter whatsoever. I assume it's the exact same as anywhere in the world. Therefore it seems USB-C is considered an acceptable next standard for phone charging in the EU. On a side-related note, I wonder why Apple was never subjected to charging standards in the EU.

      It was voluntary. The EU said sort this out or we will make a standard and require it. I think iPhones did come with an adapter for the standard charger at some point.

    IIRC they threatened to regulate and then manufacturers "voluntarily" agreed to use Micro-USB.
