> Why would I own any USB C chargers as an iPhone user?

Maybe you own a USB-C laptop or tablet? Maybe even from the same company?



No? iPad Pro and MacBook sales are a drop in the bucket compared to iPhone.


And iPhone sales a drop in the bucket compared to Android phone sales. And they all have USB-C.


Well as far as “all Android phones have USB-C”, a quick Google search for Android phones on Amazon brings me to this link:

https://www.amazon.com/Honor-Unlocked-Smartphone-Dual-Lens-E...

“Whats in the box:phone, power/wall charger, Micro USB cable and sim ejection tool.”


So, you found a phone released in 2017. From Huawei. Super cheap. That isn't even sold in the US. Where all the reviews read:

"Honor 7X has the distinction of being one of the last phones to feature a micro USB port for charging instead of USB-C. Blame the price if you must..."

Well done.


Well seeing that we are talking about the EU, I fail to see how the phone being sold in the US is relevant.

This is the first phone that shows up when you go to MetroPCS.

And it uses Micro USB.

https://www.amazon.com/Aristo-Compatible-Charger-Transfer-Mi...

If you care to go down the list of all the cheap Android phones that are sold, you will see a lot of phones that use micro USB.

As far as super cheap - that basically defines most Android phones being sold.


Not sure you know what the phrase “drop in the bucket” means.
