That's what USB-A to USB-C cables are for. Most of those outlets don't provide any fast charging anyway.

Wait. I thought they were saying it's annoying that there are now USB-C outlets replacing USB-A, which would be a waste. They actually want USB-C outlets?! I'd guess at least half of all USB-C cables are USB-A to USB-C. There's absolutely no reason to switch from A-outlets.

USB-c are more convenient and have a wider range of uses. We should be moving to that for everything.

Actually I was disappointed last year …. After reading for so long that Apple was the last remaining holdout for usb-c, I switched my phone and watch, and have been wondering where everyone else is. Why is it still the minority to find USB-C power strips and chargers and power banks and outlets and random devices? In my case, it means I don’t have a clean switch from Lightning to USB-C but now have to buy legacy cables too
