Crazy idea: now you can carry one cable.

I have a feeling that he wasn't carrying the USB-C cable because he expected some kind of guerilla-connector-change suddenly on the iPhone in his pocket, but it is being used with another device.

what if i've got multiple devices that need charging at the same time? like i always do all the time when travelling.

If one breaks, then the other cable can carry both.

Even crazier - outside US its massively easier to find usbc cable compared to lightning. I hope those frequent days when some (usually the same but now always) colleague is running desperately around the office interrupting everybody looking for one will be finally over.

I don't understand this. When traveling internationally I've never had a problem locating a Lightning cable.

Though I have to mention, you shouldn't really shop for cables when you're traveling and need a new one. First stop by the front desk, they usually have a huge pile of charging cables people have left behind.

The cable I carry is a trident cable with USB A on one end (with a tethered a-c adapter) and lighting, micro, and C on the other end.

only if you want to charge things one by one ...

[HumblyTossed]

Can already do that. I have an adapter tethered to the cable.
