But even if people need multiple cables, it’s probably not as bad as previous port changes. With Apple’s 30-pin to Lightning transition for example, nobody had Lightning cables in the beginning because it was a brand new port. With USB-C, it’s already widely adopted and the iPhone is pretty much the only major tech device left that hasn’t adopted it so far. People might already have USB-C cables. If they have a PS5 they have one, iPads nowadays all use USB-C, many MacBook models do (even though current ones use MagSafe again), there are even flashlights that use USB-C to charge.
Another example: in spots where people use wireless charging to charge their devices, nothing changes.
I just don’t think it’s that big of a deal. But we’ll see.
I can only speak for how it is in my “bubble”.
