Dual Port Charging Brick

I often need two cables, Lightning and USB-C. What if the charging brick had two slots: one Lightning and one USB-C, and I could just flip the cable depending on which device I need to charge? Yes, you’d only be able to charge a single device at a time, but that’s better than having to carry two different cords, isn’t it?

So, if you needed to charge a USB-C device, you would plug the Lightning side into the brick. And if you needed to charge a Lightning device, you would just flip the cable.

Of course, with the new European mandate to have USB-C support everywhere, the world would be a much simpler place in the future where you only need USB-C cables for all your devices. But yeah, there will always be these legacy devices. For example, my Kindle still has a micro USB port. Yikes!
