Have you never heard of adapters?

And, in the end, we a have to decide on one standard. There used to be tons of different cables, and that wasn’t exactly a better situation. Better to just bite the bullet and say this is the standard moving forward.

I’ll bet my left nut that you don’t have a male USB-A to female USB-C adapter that can support fast charging. So you’ll still end up ordering one from Amazon - a local store is unlikely to carry one.

USB-A to USB-C is the current standard. I am convinced they include a USB-C to USB-C cable because most people don’t have those chargers, so they’ll be more likely to order one with their phone.

Is there actually a major phone company defaulting to shipping their phones with C to C???

USB-A doesn’t carry enough voltage to support USB-C fast charging rates. So even if you have an adapter (I have a few), you’re not getting the best performance from your devices.

Literally all my devices charge with USB c now, no idea what your issue is.

Nintendo switch. My phone. My headphones. My headlamp. My flashlight. My ear buds pod. My VR headset…

I have no lack of usb c charging capability.

Right, it’s the environmental concerns and not the company seeing if they can get away with cutting the cost of providing the charge block.

Not just cutting the cost, but charging you extra for selling you a separate charger.

Who in 2023 doesn’t have a USB-C to outlet charging adaptor?

How the hell are they charging all their other devices that definitely have USB-C ports on them?

Weird thing to complain about.

I have a dozen regular USB blocks from the before fore times. But I only have one C block from my first pixel phone. Now they all come with C to C which are borderline useless to I had to buy a bunch of A to C cables to use the old blocks.

I didn’t have one until I had to get a new phone last year that came with one. If it just came with a USB-C to USB-C cable and no brick, I wouldn’t have had a single thing to charge the phone with. I have no USB-C port on my PC. I didn’t have my PS5 yet. And I didn’t even have any other USB-C using devices. Tons of devices still just have Micro-USB ports. Especially if they are cheap.

IDK about you, but I’m not getting or updating all my shit every few months. I still only have this phone, that one brick and now a PS5 and its controllers that use USB-C.

You’re describing a USB-C -USB-A cable. OOP describes a USB-C - USB-C cable. I didn’t have an outlet brick with a USB-C until I bought my current phone (S23 U) which only came with a cable like the one in the post

Ironically, delivery has a much lower carbon footprint than going somewhere and buying it at the store

Not if you live in a place where walking to a store would not be life-threatening.

Not necessarily maybe you live a long way from the store. If I wanted to get a USB-C adaptor I’d probably have to go to the other end of the street, but that’s because I live in the town centre.

From where I used to live that would be a 10 mile walk, which while totally doable is a bit far in my opinion, especially if I have literally anything else I want to do with my weekend.
