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

I like mag safe at time, but USB C charging is faster, less hot, not as bulky in the hand, and requires less outlets if everything in your home is using the same port, etc.

    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.

    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.

    I guess I don't need to use my phone when it's charging as much as most people, or maybe just don't use my phone as much period

    My iPhone 12 battery is kind of trash now, so using the phone plugged-in is common now.

    When my battery was fresh, I would make it to the evening, plop it down, and be done. Now I need to charge once or twice in the middle of the day, and I usually notice that I need to charge while I’m using the device.
