Marco Arment:

I love the idea of USB-C: one port and one cable that can replace all other ports and cables. It sounds so simple, straightforward, and unified.

In practice, it’s not even close […]

Maybe next time, we’ll get it right. But probably not.

This is the main reason I have been trying, not completely successfully, to keep as many things wireless as possible. To avoid cables completely and only use them when absolutely necessary. I’m pretty sure Apple would like that too and they’d prefer to get rid of the current Lightning ports on iPhones and iPads altogether, instead of replacing them with USB-C (or whatever comes next). Inductive charging is not a fix though. We need truly wireless charging first.
