Sandisk have announced a USB flash drive with USB C and normal USB.

It's way overpriced for now though.

Why would you say that?

There's a cheap £15/$19 adapter from Apple too that simply converts from USB-C to normal USB.

Yes, it just has USB-C and a headphone socket.

So two ports in all, a USB-C and a headphone socket?

Yes. You need the dongle if you want more ports.
