Consolidate on something, at least. Here are the connectors to devices purchased from Apple in the past 12 months:
Beats Studio headphones: micro-USB (for serious, Apple?)
Beats Powerbeats Pro: Lightning
iPad Pro: USB-C
iPhone XS (a little more than 12 months ago): Lightning
See a pattern there? Yeah, me neither. I might as well have purchased them from separate vendors. And Lightning at this point isn't even a standard within Apple, it's just some jackass proprietary shit you have to buy special cables for.
