I don't remember it being so simple. Every mobile phone I had in the 90s/early 2000 had a different charger, even within the same brand. They all had little holes with one pin in them, but all had different sizes, or completely different "couplers". I still have a assorted box with probably 10+ mobile chargers from the same amount of phones.
At least now all Android phones are mostly using the same kind of charger, and Apple being forced to support it as well. Hopefully we'll all be using USB-C for quite some time now.

I'm referring to cordless phones, not cell phones: https://www.google.com/search?q=cordless+phone https://www.google.com/search?q=cordless+phone No fiddling with any wires needed. Why can't we get docking stations like these for cell phones?
- nikau 4y agoblackberries used to have docks that used a gold plated power connector on either side of the phone. Nowadays qi wireless charging is a good alternative.
- capableweb 4y agoAh sorry, misunderstood. Not that I have seen them myself anywhere in real-life, but seems there is bunch of charging stations for various mobile phones (at least the ~three different models I've had last years (both Android and iPhones)). Maybe try one of those :)
