    i don’t get why people want C outlets, USB A outlets have been standard since time immemorial at this point and they’re fine for that. The only time i see a reason to output power from USB C is when you’re getting a charge from someone’s phone, otherwise it can just be A

      Well, now that everything is C we can have bidirectional cables.

      Eventually we will have devices and computers with just USB C on them. And many chargers have USB-C on their end now too.

      It’s going to all shift to USB-C. And A will slowly go away. Maybe very slowly, but it will, predominantly, go away.

      USB-A ports will go away in cars. And then it’s again just C on both ends. I was in a U Haul truck, of all things, that had USB-C back in 2020.
