    At the risk of sounding like Blizzard, don’t you have a phone? Even my previous phone, Galaxy S8 had USB-C. Or do you have an old iPhone?

    Pretty much all electronics that came out in the past 4 years use USB-C. Just an example, here’s a non-exhaustive list of things that I charge with C:

    • MacBook (2020)
    • iPad (2018)
    • Galaxy S10e (2019)
    • Steam Deck (2022)
    • Nintendo Switch (2017)
    • Kindle (2020)

    All of these are, on average, at least 4 years old. So I’m pretty sure the average consumer has already switched to primarily USB-C

          2020, my bad. Checked. In any case it’s BQ-5046L, sort of what you buy when you don’t like the whole idea of Android, but need some stuff for work.

            Even for a 2020 release, it must be an outlier. Actually never heard of BQ Mobile until now. Apparently, they released their last phone in 2020, and in 2021 completely ceased operations. They were probably trying to use up all the remaining micro USB port modules to cut costs or something.

              LOL. Wrong BQ. The one you’ve read about is dead, yes. The one I have a phone from is a Russian noname.

              Funny I didn’t hear about it. I think they tried releasing something with Ubuntu Phone a few years before, so not a completely worthless company.

              Kinda sad even, pretty normal vanilla Android.
