January 1, 2025, is the date for mobile phones and other small electronic devices. Saudi Arabia announced a law to standardize charging ports for all...
I’m imaginining some kind of monstrosity of a gaming laptop with a power cable that looks like a hydra splitting into three or four USB-C connectors, and it’s gloriously silly.
Maybe it’s time for a new thing similar to USB 3.0 micro B, with two USB-C connectors next to each other on the same plug.
It would make since to say something like usb-c is required for up to x volts. Then x-y volts require this other kind of charger.
I mean it’s totally valid if the required technology literally can’t handle certain applications that there needs to a level 2, level 3, and onward option.
Why make yet another standard instead of expanding the existing one? The newest USB-C standard allows for 240W at 48V. That should be enough for pretty much all mobile electronic devices. You could even charge an e-scooter at a reasonable rate. And at the same time, you could still charge your wireless headphones with the same charger because it’s compatible. Doesn’t get much better than that.
