Perhaps we have reached peak Apple. I was a fanboy for a long time but when USB-C came to the iPhone something clicked for me. There was no good reason except money making why they didn't do it sooner. Perhaps the magic spell is broken. Yes, their computers may be good, but maybe the company that makes them, isn't.

I remember having this exact conversation with a girlfriend who though it was dumb that Apple was being forced to change their charger port.

One day she was like "ugh! I forgot my phone charger at home" and I was like "your phone uses USB-C now. I have dozens of those lying around."

She kind of tilted her head and said "huh. that's convenient." Like, she'd simply never thought about it that way before.

Do you have to check which way round a USB-C connector is before you plug it in?
no
