> Type C is pretty ubiquitous by now.
Not really. From top of my head I could easily gather > 30 things at my house with the plain old USB A connector (several flash drives, keyboards, mouses, Bluetooth and WiFi adapters, smart card reader, external hdd enclosures, a stack of old laptops, r-pi, headphones, routers, playstation, tv, car diagnostics cables and probably several other things I can't remember). There are USB A connectors in all 3 cars in my family. And probably a dozen more devices with mini/micro USB - dslr camera, couple of tablets and older phones, dashcams, thermal imaging camera, powerbank...
Meanwhile there are exactly 3 devices with usb-c ports - 2 phones and one of several laptops (which also has several usb a ports). The only regular use of USB C for me is charging my phone. Everything else is on USB A or micro USB.
- gumby 6y agoAbout a year ago I stopped buying anything USBable that didn't use Type C. Even an electric toothbrush charged via PD. It hasn't been that hard. You might have some old legacy devices but that's not what I meant. This reminds me of the USB transition with the first iMac. There was some angst but it settled down.
- TheTrotters 6y agoI'm trying to do the same since late 2018. But I think most household will be using USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, and possibly lightning for years and years. My sister bought noise-cancelling Bose headphones last year and they still had micro-USB.
