They really screwed over iOS devs here. I have multiple cables as backups and in different bags etc - all need replacing now...except that I can't use the USB-C variant in the power brick :( I also do Android dev...need to get a USB-C to Micro-USB too just for that! Just one big mess.
I wonder if someone is going to sell a power brick that doubles as a docking station/hub?
Can you expand on what you mean about not being able to use the power brick?
My iPhone power brick for charging. Has USB-A input.
I wonder how long until the cables bundled with new iPhones/iPads have USB-C instead of USB-A. I suspect they'll start doing this with the next generation of devices, maybe with a bundled USB A to C adapter.
