As far as we Eurpeans are concerned, the time of wishing is over. By the end of this year, no portable electronic device with anything but a USB-C connector may be sold within the Euroean Union. I don't know if Switzerland, the home of Swiss Micros, or the UK will also adopt that rule.

Which is actually a good thing because there are more and more cases of data theft and hacks when connecting phones, tablets and notebook to manipulated public charging sockets. A power only cable offers the best protection against that.

Personally I am using USB-C with my Android smartphone since about five years and the similar Lightning connector with Apple devices since about ten years with no problems whatsoever. I don't ever want to go back to anything else.
