The switch to USB-C is good! Except for all the dongles you’ll need to get there.

I don't need any of these, I already have the USB-C cables for my laptop, that was the whole point of switching to USB-C. Also in the cover photo is that a USB-C to USB-C dongle? What use is that??
- Nah it's a $29 USB-C to Lightning dongle
  
  That's kinda dumb but also incredibly niche, prob low volume
  
  I'm sure they're hoping people will buy them to connect to existing Lightning cables for charging, but the main use would be connecting to a handful of lightning-based peripherals.
  Yes, niche use.
