Someone Call Google and give them all the details! (reference required)

>Standardize the form factor and turn it into a uniform standard that every manufacturer can adopt

ANYtHING that requires power from the utility grid should have a standard plug.

Imaging buying a washing machine or refridgerator and having to update the wiring in your home because you want an LG washer and a GE fridge?

Oh wait, thats how cell phones seem to work and basically you cannot be a modern human without this tether.

Cell phones are pretty much all USB-C at this point.

EVs are either SAE J1772 or SAE J3400 which are adapter-compatible.

Yeah, dork... you know how many FN years it took and the impact of the mountains of e-waste before we could beat politicians with a stick from eating that corporate donut?

Agreed, but I don't get the point in complaining about the thing that's mostly fixed now.

“At this point” is doing a lot of heavy lifting for a phone launched barely three months ago.
