TL;DR 1.5 m cable, instead of 1 m. Color-matched and braided.

    It’s also wasteful if that is something you care about.

      Although, to be fair, it does kind of product extra waste in the short term. I’m definitely going to be trashing a decade of lightning crap and buying USB C cables.

        A lot of people already own a bunch of USB-C cables though. Like users of Macs, iPads, Androids, laptops, Nintendo Switch, E-readers, wireless headphones, etc.

          I have some USB C cables in the house already, but I don’t want to be crawling behind things to unplug / replug stuff or carry cables from place to place. I also want to be able to charge two things in one place at the same time. Laptop and phone. Phone and headphones, etc.

          With 2 bedside tables, 2 work desks, 2 cars, and another random living room charge spot in the house, I’m probably going to replace about 7 cables.

            Thats what usb c is for? So that you dont need to screw around with random cables? Blame apple for refusing the standard
