Half of my backpack has clothes. The other half has filming gear and dongles. A bunch of them. Thank you, Apple.

A laptop, a camera on a tripod, and other tech accessories are placed on a windowsill with Lisbon cityscape visible outside.

At least, everything I travel with is USB-C compatible, which means there is always a cable available to plug and charge anything. But not exactly everything. Guess what? All of those cables are useless for one device. I’ve been wirelessly charging my wife’s iPhone with my Pixel because she forgot to bring the Lightning cable. Thank you, Apple. Again.

An iPhone is wirelessly charging on top of an Android Pixel, both placed on a reflective surface.
