Crazy idea: now you can carry one cable.
- kalupa 3y agoonly if you want to charge things one by one ...
- saiya-jin 3y agoEven crazier - outside US its massively easier to find usbc cable compared to lightning. I hope those frequent days when some (usually the same but now always) colleague is running desperately around the office interrupting everybody looking for one will be finally over.
- rootusrootus 3y agoI don't understand this. When traveling internationally I've never had a problem locating a Lightning cable. Though I have to mention, you shouldn't really shop for cables when you're traveling and need a new one. First stop by the front desk, they usually have a huge pile of charging cables people have left behind.
- prmoustache 3y agoAnyone who has worked in an office outside of the USA has experienced the annoying iphone user asking everyone for a cable to charge his phone because he lost/broke/forgot it. And not all the offices are close to a shop selling those kind of things nor do these persons feel they might be better off going shopping for one directly instead of disrupting a non negligible amount of workers. I don't even know why people have to charge their phone midday and can't wait. Even when I am going out and extending the night until dawn, I usually have battery left until I go to bed.
- not_your_vase 3y agoI have a feeling that he wasn't carrying the USB-C cable because he expected some kind of guerilla-connector-change suddenly on the iPhone in his pocket, but it is being used with another device.
- kmlx 3y agowhat if i've got multiple devices that need charging at the same time? like i always do all the time when travelling.
- sneak 3y agoThe cable I carry is a trident cable with USB A on one end (with a tethered a-c adapter) and lighting, micro, and C on the other end.
- HumblyTossed 3y agoCan already do that. I have an adapter tethered to the cable.
