We do, that is when we decide to buy stuff from someone else.

And all my Magsafe bricks around the house won't help Apple selling me a new MacBook in the future.

Just went through this and donglegate. The one saving grace is I can now charge my Android phone from my laptop charger and the cable is removable and USB. Now I just need to get rid of my other 40 microUSB devices. Course now I'm worried about voltage regulation and plugging in something and zapping it but I'm assuming USB-C has safeguards in place. As in plugging my headphones into my laptop charger brick via USB-C, etc.

I think we might finally hit a point in time where everything starts to be USB powered and not proprietary cables plugging into bricks (ha yeah right).

Can't plug an iPhone into it though.. and unless they've switched it up since I bought mine you get a USB-A to lightning cable, so you can't plug it into the laptop either without a dongle. :)

Eventually the wireless charger of the next iPhone (the one without any external connection) and watch will be USB powered.
