That's exactly what I'm talking about. At the size of Apple, the decision as to when they drop a particular interface or service is the day millions of devices get useless.

Unfortunately, we are still very bad ad recycling e-waste and only a part of it can be recovered successfully. As choosing the date has huge impact on the environment, a company that truly cares would take it into account.

And you think they haven't because it doesn't align with when you want to move on. You are not the only user in the world.

I have a single item that uses USB A (my mouse). I plug it into a dock that I would have purchased anyway to handle multiple monitors, and that resolves my waste issues. YMMV.
