Yep, we have desks at work with a built in AC socket and USB-A and USB-C for charging phones. Guess what? The USB-C only delivers 5V and thus is unsuitable to power Apple’s travel charger for MagSafe and Apple Watch.

Same with our £600 Dyson lamps. They all come with an USB-C outlet. But, again, it’s only providing 5V, no PD.

Apart from that, I’m also pretty happy with USB-C everything. Even though I still think Lightning is the better design in terms of robustness of the socket. No thin plastic lip that can break apart.
