I am a charger hoarder: One at work, one in the backpack, several at home.

Take my phone for example - I tend to have a charger in every room of the house, several for my backpack and one at my desk.

This wouldn't be an issue if Apple's chargers weren't so proprietary to the point where third-party developers can't even manufacture their own devices.

I wonder if they'll allow non-Apple USB-C chargers. I think they'd have to.
