Headphones, MacBook Air M1, ThinkPad, ThinkVision external monitor, iPad Pro, External HDD, Battery bank, two android phones, all USB-C.
My stupid Samsung watch also doesn't get any love when traveling and almost gets thrown out everytime due to its charging interface.
As for the other cable comment, I actually primarily upgraded to the iPad pro I'm using to get rid of the lightning cable I had to use with my older iPad Air.

I brought along the charging puck for my Active2 watch and Mrs. Swede's Galaxy Watch 2. It was about the fourth week of our 5-week trip when I remembered that our phones (we both have the Galaxy S20 FE) could charge our watches using the wireless power share feature.

Definitely a thing. I have iMessage chats with groups and one of the criteria is you have to have an iPhone that runs a software that supports iMessage. If you get a single Android user in there it turns the whole group message green and removes all the iMessage features.
That said, I don't consider that to be shaming, it's just the reality of running a different system.

I bought the trio charging pad for $30 or $40 when it was on sale and use that for charging my watch headset and phone if not plugged in. I leave the oem cable in my bag so I'll have it when I travel.

Wow that's a lot of butthurt for a fluff piece. There's something to be said for consumer preference and phones that just work. At the same time, lagdroid users wouldn't be so insufferable if so many weren't nutjobs that go around shilling for their ...... choice of phone and whatever half-baked hacked together software they've shoehorned onto their phone for the week. It's almost like some people are so autistic with their "customization" fetish they waste endless hours like their time is worthless... They're actually worse than the open sores GNU/loonix freaks the butt of internet jokes
