The opposite is true here (android household). We don't buy phones very often so we have exactly 2 USB-C chargers in the household so I was kinda happy that work gave me a (now 3rd party) charger for my work iphone. I have retrofitted all my cables with a couple small micro-usb-to-usb-c adapters but especially when you don't change phones often, you should exactly NOT be drowning in chargers. In the Micro-USB times I actually bought 2-3 extra ones because we never had enough... I'm all for finally only having USB-C chargers in the future, but I wouldn't call this transition exactly smooth.

Just with 3 phones each x 2 people over 11 years (replacing phones every 4 years-ish) and that's already 6 chargers. Throw in a single iPad and a work phone and I'm up to 8. Add in one third-party charger with two ports and a power strip with a built-in charger, and now we're up to 10. I don't know how often "often" is but I don't feel like getting a new phone after 4 years is much of a hurry.
- wink 5y agoYeah but only if they're not changing them every few years - and we thought Micro USB would last for a while. one charger in my home office, two in the bedroom, one in the living room, one per office building - that's 6 of them already accounted for, no spares. I like the idea of unbundling them, but in the end I keep buying additional ones anyway...
