It\u2019s way easier to just bring a couple of extra Micro\/Mini-USB cables that plug into the USB-A ports on my Anker battery packs when I\u2019m on a week-long motorcycle trip. When you have thousands of dollars invested in outdoor rechargeable gear, you sort of have to tough it out for a bit which is why I\u2019m not in a huge rush to convert all of my Apple gear to USB-C. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via MereCivilian: With that said, the following are my NON USB C devices (that I use regularly):\u2026 Interesting&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2024-01-03T20:17:20Z","apple_news_api_id":"bdfeb9b9-1663-48f1-b84e-0f715aac23bc","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2024-01-03T20:17:20Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/Avf65uRZjSPG4Tg9xWqwjvA","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-12206","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-technology","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-3aS","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7610,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2018\/11\/12\/what-cables-do-i-need-in-2018-if-i-own-a-macbook-pro-ipad-2018-and-iphone-xs\/","url_meta":{"origin":12206,"position":0},"title":"What cables do I need in 2018 if I own a MacBook Pro, iPad 2018 and iPhone XS?","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"November 12, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"This post is for me but it may be helpful for others.
