UK ponders USB-C as common charging standard

USB C tax

Well from a service perspective we have found that the USB C standard does not cover the pin out, there are a myriad of different ones. The problem with this is that some are a bitch to repair, hidden pins ect which can mean the cost to repair is higher than say a good old barrel jack. Plus the MTBF of some of these connectors is lower as they can break quite easily in some devices. I just think restricting the OEM to implement the best power solution might increase e waste?
