> What need is there to experiment with chargers?

That’s the point, I have no clue. But we might still be stuck with floppy drives with a mindset like that.

Although as a physical connector usb-c is far from perfect. IMHO lighting seemed nicer in some ways.

That seems like a false equivalency to me. It seems quite obvious that storage media have more potential for development than charging wires.

Wire go in - power go through, is literally all they need to do and USB-C does that pretty well.


No, it's cable go in, power go through, *cable doesn't fall out* and usb-c does that terribly after a few months.

I'm extremely pro standardisation, but the next revision needs to do a lot better.
