>> What's interesting is that nearly all of my recent electronics purchases have used USB-C.

I've started noticing this recently. It's taken longer than I thought but the only devices remaining I have that I need to search for cables for are my iPhone/Apple Watch/old iPod. Everything else, including laptops, I usually have a USB-C charger already plugged in and ready to go no matter what room I'm in.

It makes sense that there should be a standard for this, just like we do (although it varies by country) for our plugs.
