@wonka because itโ€™s heralded as a victory of the consumer over Apple. Itโ€™s a lie. The EU did not future proof the charging of phones. The only thing that has happened is that a lot of cables became waste and Apple gets to sell a lot of new Apple cables. Tnx EU? ๐Ÿค” @zegolem

@SebastienK You have a very close horizont if you only see that. USB-C is certainly the more future-proof option than Micro USB. Just look at how many devices there are already that charge via USB-C and do not bring their own wall wart!

@wonka I have stopped using cables for charging for a while now. USB-C is good for real work. Charging is just a nice feat. Every iPhone sold with USB-C will have wireless charging. Wireless charging is the universal charger. No cable insertion needed. Every brand uses the same standard. Even Apple uses it @zegolem

@SebastienK Wireless charging has high losses. I will not use it unless a wired connection absolutely is not possible. @zegolem

@SebastienK Also, USB PD is specified to up to 240 Watts now - I want to see you do that much wirelessly.

@wonka you think I care? I can charge faster if Lightning right now but I donโ€™t use it as wireless is just more user friendly just like Lightning was more user friendly than micro USB @zegolem
