For a mobile device one big plus of USB-C is USB-PD and the ecosystem of fast chargers and power banks it brings/will-bring. You can also use one charger for both your phone and laptop, which is useful even if you can’t charge both at the same time.

Ignore everything else and it’s a nice upgrade just for this.

My Surface Pro charger (the same one that comes with the Surface Book IIRC) has a USB port for charging phones as well, and unlike a USB-C charger, charges both at the same time.

While I lament non-standard implementations, much like Apple's old MagSafe adapter and the Surface connector, sometimes the non-standard version is vastly superior.

That still leaves out issue of powerbanks, more devices and probably fast-charging.

Still a USB charging port on a regular charges seems mighty convenient and I’m certainly jealous!
