Man, I don’t care who uses what. I have chargers for all of it. Come to my house. I’ll be the friend you can charge up with.
chrisdafish
Just bring your own charger

Our house is iPhones and an iPad. With that said we have lightning, micro, and usb-C cables.

From a starting point of billions and billions, we're now down to 3-4, depending if you also count the big old Apple one.

A house divided here. Two Android users. Two iPhone users. We've got you covered.

i have like 4 chargers. if i ever get a friend, i'm totally gonna be ready!

One day, USB-C will all our gadgets. Except iPhones.
DetectiveGaff
Tbqh after having a couple wireless charging devices I'm excited for that to just take over and have a whole new set of charging standards
supercoffee1025
Right now I’ve got USB-C chargers all over my house and car. And USB-C to *Lightning* cables for my iPhone. Gotta stay future proof.
DetectiveGaff
Once I got a Nexus 6p I liked at my chargers on hand and was all "fuuuuuuck" and went on a spree. I hadn't realized that my fiance and I 1/

Both had desk, bed, couch, portable, and work chargers + a car charger. All upgraded but made me lol at the cable dependence

thingamajig1987
It's a lot easier to find a USB cable though, usually someone has at least one USB device in their house. Glory of non proprietary hardware.
getmo
Some Apple people don't even know what micro USB is. Seriously, I had to show them they already had like 3 devices that used it.
TeflonTrout
For all the crap Apple has copied lately, it's about time the real world catches on to the "no such thing as upside down" plugs with USB C
getmo
The one thing I was always jealous of is that Lightning cable. So glad USB has caught up now and even Apple is using it.
Zyrin
Isn't lighting the same idea there is no wrong way to plug it in?
TeflonTrout
Yeah, that's what I was referring to. I think that was Apple's last major innovation, it's a good one
Zyrin
I agree that is nice but usb-c does the same now right? Though still sucks that lighting is only for apple.
thingamajig1987
It's more complicated than you'd think, but most things are going that way nowadays
TeflonTrout
Oh, I was always sure it'd be a PITA to make, but hey, if Apple can do it, anyone can
thingamajig1987
Apple did it faster because of proprietary hardware, it takes longer to change industry standards

ALL HAIL!
ProxyPlayerHD
it is better than µUSB-A which only fits in one way and is so small that people broke it rather easily. if Phones start to use USB-C like
kaofwk
There are reversible USB-A and microUSB cable designs. microUSB connector isn't really that sturdy unfortunately.
ProxyPlayerHD
they did with µUSB-A (aka connecting to PCs and such) thne it would be perfect. but maybe tehy do already. no idea
IShootBirdsAtTheAirport
Modern Android phones, like the P10, use USBC for everything.
vammane
I've been using phone with usb-c from 2015, it's not that new, but still some brands uses that old and rubbish usb-a
meauho
One of the few good features of the LGV20
KawaNyx
The G5 uses it too. Good phone
fusrohjordan
Using a V30 at the moment and it beats the hell out of my old V20
IsThatA380InMyPocketOrAmIHappyToSeeYou
I loved my V20, but I love my V30 even more.
GodEmperor0fMankind
I just got an LG G6 that uses USB-C and until right now I thought it was as uncommon as an apple charger. Huh. You learn something new
Virtika
I've been phasing out everything but Type-C. The faster it's the de-facto standard, the better.
photog
Same. So far my phone, camera and Nintendo Switch use it. Next time I build a PC the mobo with have it also.
supercoffee1025
PS4 and Xbox One need to get on board. I’m shook the Nintendo Switch beat them all to USB-C.
IsAWookieFetusBaldOrHairy
I honestly feel like the Lightning cable configuration would be better for a universal standard. The female connection has no fragile wafer
IsAWookieFetusBaldOrHairy
As an android user I feel dirty for saying that. =[
fusrohjordan
I have never seen anyone damage the USB C port and I work in cellular sales. Also it's capable of much higher power delivery. All. Hail.
IsAWookieFetusBaldOrHairy
Currently* capable of more power. No reason I know of that would stop the one piece design of lightning from delivering more power.
SVcross
Dash Charge man. It's amazing.
nvsfg
⛪ I love Dash and my oneplus
aznanimality
Are the new iPhones going to use USB-C? I know some of the macbooks are already using it thank god.
RoboCoonie
Some of the new Androids went this route too.
EvilEkips
It's a European law, so Apple has to adapt here, no idea if they are going to do so elsewhere.
CosmoRaider
i would be really surprised if they do considering they removed the headphone jack with lightning .
supercoffee1025
Apple *loves* changing over to new standards. I’m honestly shook the iPhone X didn’t move to USB-C.
RishiMaru
Don't they have USB C headphones? So... I mean ....
kaofwk
Unfortunately there still isn't many. It's just too new I guess. You can get a 3.5mm adapter easily though, or even a DAC
Blue5679
I think I've only seen one pair honestly
XanCrews
I'm using a pair right now. Came with my phone... because HTC ditched the 3.5 jack too. Buncha cunts...
LyraTheLycan
To be honest I thought it was a stupid decision at first, but I always use Bluetooth so it might have been a good idea.
CaptainSl00000000w
The Pixel 2 has USB C and no headphone jack. There's a dongle for it.
calcifear
USB-C headphones exist, and they're pushing wireless hard, so it's not necessarily impossible, but I'd be surprised to see it in < 3 years.
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
The next iteration will bring back the headphone jack calling it a marvel of innovation but remove the charging port entirely.
FAECI
They will bring it back but with a tiny notch on the inside that only lets you plug in Apple headphones and claim it has 250% better quality
romicra88
And you'll have to shovel out $300 dollars for a glowing wireless charge dock. $400 for the portable version
LyraTheLycan
Meanwhile Samsung users get a sick Captain America charger for $50
Hybris51129
And either one kills your battery sooner due to the extra heat that wireless charging causes.
calcifear
Probably not for the foreseeable future. Apple's pretty invested in Lightning, and it is a thinner connector. 1/2
Pseudosim
Oh boy oh boy. Gotta have that thinness more than some fucking battery life.
calcifear
Eh, battery isn't too bad given what they run with it. Camera bump is a better criticism: why not make the whole phone that thick and 1/2
calcifear
Have even more battery? Irritating af 2/2
Mirawatts
The port also jams with dust and dirt super easy, while Type-C does not.
RandomAbscessMemories
I can't comment on lightning, but I have to clean out the USB c port on my phones somewhat regularly.
Mirawatts
Weird. My Type-C phone never has issues. I work for a chain of repair stores and I end up cleaning 2-3 iPhone charger ports a day.
calcifear
But stranger things have happened, and we can hope. 2/2
Rantaf
I think USB-C to lightning is more realistic to hope for.
gmtarkinsmomentoftriumph
They have them already. The 8 and the X can use them for faster charging. https://store.apple.com/xc/product/MK0X2AM/A
EClaire1073
It's not that much thinner than MicroUSB, and it's a hell of a lot more expensive. I can get a MicroUSB cord at Walmart for like $3.
coldwargofast
5below has 10’ lightning cables for $5. Amazon has them for the same price as microUSB. So does Walmart. It isn’t 2006 anymore
CrownCrooked
We all know exactly why they do it - to make money. You can't make money off of usbc or mirco because it isn't proprietary.
KiyaSeraphia
It's mostly inflated prices across the board. For 3 cords, all 6 ft, USB to Micro, C, and Lightning, all are $20 generic where I work 1/2
KiyaSeraphia
However, the company pays, respectively, ~Less then a dollar, 2 dollars, and almost 4 dollars, internally at-cost for these items. 2/3?
theBlueFour
Apple makes those cables for pennies in China and sells them at 1000% markup. Why would they ever use something cheaper for consumers?
EClaire1073
Exactly, fuck Apple.
GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate
The 8 & 10 uses the USB C spec, though with lightening cables, not surprised if they switch in the next two phones
calcifear
Uses the USBC *power* spec. There's a lot more to fill in to change from Lightning; eg the accessory host bits. Doable, but involved.
Ealadon
If we get true USB-C sure. The this one is only power, that one is audio/visual, and this third one is fast data is bull shit.
livetotroll
Ya 40 Gb/s bandwidth is such bullshit...
Ealadon
Who said it was bullshit? And isn't it closer to 10GB/s?
Ealadon
Oh, you thought I was saying "fast data = bull shit", it was just continuing the list of saying having different ports for different aspects
kaofwk
USB-C is just the connector. But I understand and agree on what you are saying. USB power delivery, thunderbolt 3, cable ratings, its a mess
Ealadon
Indeed, I just want my USB-C to be connected internally to all available functions of the technology. Price be damned!
KirchoffsVoltageLaw
I love USB-C. Only downside is so many cables that are USB 2.0 and not the C variant.Also need certified cables so phone doesn't burn
StoodfarBack
How does the phone burn? Very interesting thingy.

Not if I have to buy an iPhone for it.

My Galaxy tablet charges with it. It's awesome. Also, my Macbook but whatever

Just wait until USB C
LegendarySuperSwine
Was kinda shocked it was my videogames that jumped onto the C Type for me first, I got the Switch back in March, there has been some mix ups

Yes and it's the new standard. It's wonderful and I don't know why it wasn't done in the first place.
HiIAmGod
I love it so hard
getmo
Worse was asking for a charger at an "Apple" household. They bright me iPhone cable. I said, "No, micro USB" they seriously didn't know what
getmo
/ it was. I said, "there's no way you don't have THE most common cable in your house." Found like 3 of them, PS4, vaporizer, even headphones
getmo
I tried to educate them on what it was, and they all mocked me for it. I hate Apple fanbois sometimes.
Hybris51129
Apple is techno socialism for the non tech savvy people in the world. It works, don't ask how it works, don't ask why its not compatible,(1
Hybris51129
with other systems, and don't ask why the price is hyper-inflated compared to equal hardware elsewhere. (2/2)
