You where saying ? Lol <| sep |> They could have but all that would have done is encourage peripheral manufacturers to stay on USBA . The shift to USBC is already happening . More than a few PC laptops are USBC only . You don ' t even have to abandon your peripherals , you can just buy minimicroUSB to USBC cables and carry on like before . These cables will be a fraction of the cost of buying a new device . What about SD ? The majority of people never use it . Their own headphones ? They made it clear that they believe the future is wireless . The fact that Bluetooth headphones outsell wired ones now confirms that . It sounds like you ' re just grouchy because the tech world is moving forward and you don ' t like change .
