It's a port. Just like USB, Firewire, Thunderbolt, serial, parallel, PS/2 etc etc. It's a different shape, it can receive power. It's not complicated.
Yes it is.
do you plug different stuff in?
why does everything need to be compatible?
how many adapters do I need?
does everything have to be up to usb c standard to work?
are old usb plugs capable of working with it?
Why is it called usb c?
Why is it called all in one if you need a million adapters for it to work?
Can I use hdmi and usb c and charge my iPhone and my Mac all at the same time?
How does pass through charging work?
What's the point of usb c if all of their products including iPhones and iPads and even the Apple Watch does not use usb c and instead use the older form of usb?
What if I did not have any adapters and I just had a MacBook and an iPhone with the regular chargers could I even charge my phone?
