I'm not the guy who usually forgets his chargers, I own several of them in different locations just so that I don't run out of juice when it's needed, but yesterday morning was a bit different.
I thought that I'm leaving home for a short business trip, planned to be back until evening that day, but it took an unexpected turn and here I am, 150 km from my place, tied to the current task for another 36 hours.
This wasn't the initial plan, so I had the messenger bag filled with my day to day tech; a fully charged Nintendo Switch (god I love the new Super Mario), private iPhone 8, companies Note 8 and the Bose QC 35 on my neck.
Now, the thing is, everything was fully charged except for the MBP 2016 which was on 30%, I figured out that most of the tech was fine since the trip should not take more than half a day, so I only took the MBP charger with me, it's small and light, fit's into the pocket of the coat so it's not a big deal. Most of the other stuff can wait, at least that's what I thought.
Later on, one thing lead to another and I was stuck 150km away from most of my chargers, except for the MBP one. And the thing is, I don't know why, but I never took USB C seriously and I didn't give it too much of attention, until a few hours ago when my Switch was dead and all the phones on 20-30%, with another day and a half to go.
At first I started to panic, but then I figured out that I can charge most of the important stuff with the MBP charger. First, the device for which the charger is meant to be, the MBP, after that charged the Note 8 (blasphemy, I know), so that I can continue the work, and after that the little Switch just for the sake of having more fun with the stupid cap. And then it struck me, I couldn't believe how convenient and fast it was to just connect and charge my tech, but it was a pity that I couldn't charge everything.
Now, I'm not holding any grudges against the Bose QC 35, they are an "old" model and newer bt headphones with USB C are slowly entering the market, but the problem was my one month old iPhone 8 which I love, but can't use with the new standard.
A few days ago I had a read over at the MBP 2018 thread where people complained about the USB C, mentioned HDMI and some other ports which are "the standard", but after this situation I'm all up for USB C, a bit disappointed with the Lightning port, but am definitely looking forward to the future iPhones with USB C.
But, at this point, I'm asking myself why didn't they change the port on the X and on the new Beats, it would make so much sense for the device with the slogan "future of phones" to have it, together with the high end headphones from Beats.
A bit confused but hopefully they will change it in the near future...
