I still have the same issue as before except I’ve added a suite of USB C connectors. I still have micro/mini and regular USB devices on top of all the USB C stuff. Not to mention the premium for a USB C charger.

You have to admit it's a better connector mechanically, though. Also, the vast majority of USB-C devices charge fine from USB-A. The devices that require an expensive charger are things that have previously required a proprietary charger, like laptops.

  > the vast majority of USB-C devices charge fine from USB-A I’ve gotten myself stuck a few times with this assumption. My MacBook Air (and probably any MacBook) will accept a trickle at 5V, but my Dell laptop will not.

> Not to mention the premium for a USB C charger. Only if you want fast charging. I run my MacBook Air over a USB-A to USB-C cable and it slowly charges under light use at around 2.5A and 5V. And tops off to 100% while not in operation. If you want more voltage, then yeah, you’ll need a more specialized charger, whether USB-C or proprietary.
