However, there are still devices in my life that I use daily that are not USB C. Strangely, as each year passes by, it becomes more annoying to live with non-USB C devices.

I still use the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00REQKWGA\/?tag=michaeltsai-20\">first-generation model<\/a>, and I probably would have upgraded by now except that the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07F7TLZF4\/?tag=michaeltsai-20\">latest version<\/a> still uses micro USB. Amazon hasn&rsquo;t updated it since 2019 and really seems to have <a href=\"https:\/\/goodereader.com\/blog\/e-reader-radio\/what-is-next-for-e-readers-in-2024\">taken its eye off E Ink Kindle hardware<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Other legacy devices: Apple Aluminum Wired Keyboard, Magic Mouse, AirPods Pro, AirPods 3, Apple TV Remote, various battery packs, various family iPhones. This is somewhat ameliorated by the fact that some non-USB-C devices do support Qi charging.<\/p>\n\n<p>Previously:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2024\/01\/03\/3-in-1-charging-stations\/\">3-in-1 Charging Stations<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2023\/10\/31\/imac-2023\/\">iMac 2023<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2023\/10\/05\/avoid-overspending-for-iphone-15-usb-c-cables-and-chargers\/\">Avoid Overspending for iPhone 15 USB-C Cables and Chargers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2023\/09\/12\/iphone-15-pro-and-iphone-15-pro-max\/\">iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2023\/09\/12\/iphone-15-and-iphone-15-plus\/\">iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2023\/08\/31\/anticipating-the-coming-usb-c-iphone-backlash\/\">Anticipating the Coming USB-C iPhone Backlash<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2022\/10\/06\/eu-passes-law-to-switch-iphone-to-usb-c\/\">EU Passes Law to Switch iPhone to USB-C<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2019\/06\/19\/kindle-oasis-with-warm-light\/\">Kindle Oasis With Warm Light<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2017\/10\/14\/the-impossible-dream-of-usb-c\/\">The Impossible Dream of USB-C<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2016\/04\/16\/kindle-oasis\/\">Kindle Oasis<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p id=\"devices-that-are-not-usb-c-in-my-life-update-2024-01-05\">Update (2024-01-05): See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2024\/01\/03\/linked-devices-that-are-not-usb-c-in-my-life\/\">Adam Chandler<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mere Civilian: First, I give my appreciation to the European Union for their efforts in nudging (we all know it was more than a nudge) Apple to support USB C.
