It went better than I expected. Sometimes I used the A-C adapter to trickle charge stuff in the hotel when I was out, taking my own charger with me for the day, and other than that just rotating what I was charging. The 45W charger is not much bigger than an OG iPhone charger and had no problem with my 16” MacBook. The difference in charging time to the Apple 87W charger wasn’t noticed.
One bonus I did not anticipate. You know how some cheap devices have usb-c charging that only seems to work with a USB-A to C cable? The adapters I mentioned can work around that.
One thing want to do but not tried yet is convert a few micro-usb things to usb-c. You can get convenient little breakout boards for it on Aliexpress.
Basically I feel the type of cables changed but I am not traveling much lighter not has it become that easier on managing stuff. I still think USB-C is fine, better than micro USB on so many respects, I just don’t feel the revolutionary aspect yet.
Perhaps we’ll be there in 5 years? If we din’t end up with new fragmentation on the wireless charging part.
Even as beard shavers and display monitors have come to support USB-C, I still don't see how people can get rid of their A->C cables, or not keep around lower standard 3m long cables because thunderbolts ones aren't sold in these length, or still need a cable for their camera etc.
