Gotcha. Well except for the weird checkra1n thing, everything else is easily migrated to USB-C. To help with that migration, I highly recommend this[1] cable (or one similar to it) as a technological Swiss Army Knife.

I made the transition at the beginning of the year to "USB-C everything I can" and it's very liberating. Ironically the only devices I have left that are not USB-C are my iPhone and AirPods (and my Kindle, but they just released a USB-C model which I will soon use to replace my current one).

Yea, fair enough. I am generally migrating in that direction, but probably a bit slower than you.

Looks like a handy cable.

As I said not something I could reasonably expect or that Apple should reasonably have done. Just another set of changes to make/stuff to buy.

In practice I’ll probably mostly just deal with for a while by carrying a hub with me.

Of course I have a ton of other things I’ll home but that’s easier dealt with using various usb hubs.
