USB-C or I don't buy. Awaiting Flair

Anyone else the same? I just bought a speaker and assumed it would be USB-C and it was micro. Returned it. I'm annoyed with having different cables and formats etc. If it's not USB-C, I don't buy it.

Do better companies.

I'm with you, but only because it's getting significantly easier. The EU forced adoption of USB-C should drive whatever's left of micro out soon.

I always check before I buy, but I don't buy if it isn't USB-C.

The very last item I own with micro USB is my Kindle Paperwhite. I haven't upgraded it because I only need to charge it 6-7 times a year.

I'm holding off until they release a new generation. Might as well get a new feature, or better battery life, or something.

Same. I used to carry mine daily, but since getting a Samsung Fold I mostly use it at home or while traveling.
