     @lain Even for powerbanks?
     And well USB-C is also nice for transferring data and tethering.

     @lain I mean for transferring files, not 4G/5G.
     Although most people can't transfer files these days.

     @piggo @lain Yeah, it's nearly easier to transfer files with a TI calculator (which requires special software) than with an android phone.
     
     Also reminds me of how I ended up with one of those USB-A + USB-micro thumbdrives passed down to me because no one in my family could use it on their phones while it just worked on SailfishOS…
