> In Apple's case I fully expect they will make it so that when you plug your Apple display into your laptop it also charges it since the charger is permanently connected to (or built into) the Apple monitor/display.

Except that this display does not exist.

Adapters will exist for now. I think a solution to a single port (though, having more than 1 is probably better) is great. Why do we need 8 different port types? We should have one and it should do everything. But we should have 2 of them.

I haven't seen anybody complaining about the move to a single port type. Most of us in the tech world recognize that as a Good Thing. What many of us don't like is that you have to unplug the power adapter just to plug in a flash drive unless you have a dongle.

Yet. Neither does the laptop, by the way. By the time it launches, I expect it'll be surrounded by a fairly decent line of accessories.

Just like Thunderbolt? I'm not holding my breath, but I do think USB has a better chance of a successful accessory ecosystem.
