Aha, so it's called a USB-A. I did wonder!coffeehound said:
Yeah it comes down to what the OP want to use them for I suppose. USB-A are still pretty universal as long as they can provide 2.4 amps or more. I just tried an iPhone 11 on an old USB-A charger and it is happy enough, though as you suggest it'll take longer than the USB-C charger. Probably comparable with the 15-watt Magsafe contact chargers.Doozergirl said:We don't just use ours for little devices. The laptop gets plugged in a lot, but so do random kitchen appliances that don't live on the surfaces - the handheld blender, the Kenwood mixer/food processor and the deep fat fryer being three.We also now have a mix of USB and USB-C ports in our house, so we've got some USB plugs dotted around the house and haven't yet used them! I'd be interested to know how fast things charge through them though. We have the expensive USB-C fast charging plugs for the iPhones, so I haven't really considered using the ports 😬Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
