That’s cool, I 3D printed a shelf that attaches to my outlet in my kitchen that allows me to charge my work AirPods, Apple Watch and work iPhone. Personal iPhone I usually charge on a Qi charger in my room.

It’s a pet peeve of mine too, so I did this last Christmas and it lasted about 3 weeks.

I’m srsly contemplating going back to Android to avoid these charger fights

They make outlet expanders with USB and USB c ports that just plug into your wall outlet.

Nope, not in my house. I know where my shite is because I put it where it belongs. The mantra in my house is - You’ve been taught “everything has a place and there’s a place for everything” so if you lost it, not my problem. That goes for my wife too.

Just buy the Amazon basics stuff. I bought a box of 6ft cables two years ago and still have some in the box.

My son loses his charger daily... My wife loses here charger 3-5 times a week. I keep a charger by my computer, bed and in my car... I NEVER loose them! Family also learned to not take my damn chargers... if they need to use my charger then my charger stays where it is. It is not like I have not bought all of them several chargers for their devices.

I have three of these, in black, because we don’t discriminate. They work great. Having USB-C connector built-in is what tipped this brand for me to purchase (future proofing).

Edited to add ...

I also have a few of these. The magnets allow for “neater” storage when not in use.

Rhetorical question for anyone with multiple Apple devices in one household. Chargers and cords grow legs.

10 foot cable in the living room. Wireless pad on nightstand. Cable in car. Wireless stand in office. I honestly have probably never been below 90%. Ever. Having a phone with barely any charge gives me anxiety. frick all that.

Chargers are available at every gas station in America for a couple bucks, so I have to blame the parents for this problem.

They're pretty cheap. I just bought 6 new cables and bricks and hid them.

Apple has cheaped out and decided to stop including chargers and cables with the new iP12.

Personally I like having an accumulation of chargers since they usually grow legs.

We have something similar to this. Dedicated charging station in the corner of the house away from everything. A few wireless chargers in accessible areas...this should not be a “situation” for you in 2020. Tons of options.

Idiots buy Apple

I can get a USB plug for 3 bucks at a gas station and a chord for 6

9 bucks plus tax at any gas station, and guess what, it freaking works

I can plug in $15 headphones with no problems

Only idiots with more money than sense buy apple products.. take another bite of the poison fruit... enjoy nothing other than feigned superiority with your devices... enjoy spending $$$ not worth it



You sound mad. I love how you try to pass being miserly off as a virtue, and then top it off with characterizing having more money than you as a symbol of being dumb.
