The MacBook Pro still doesn’t have USB A ports. I have an apple silicon model for work and have to use multiple dongles to connect all my peripherals. This is ridiculous for a 2000+ dollar computer.
Luckily you can buy several USB-A to USB-C adapters for ~$1 each, instead of demanding manufacturers persist an outdated spec — that’s been superseded for a decade — and creating significantly more e-waste and headaches for everyone in the long run.
Apple removing the disgusting pile of shit of a connector without a single redeeming quality was a big part of the fact that cables have C ends instead now.

People still use usb a?
Wired keyboard and mouse, USB sticks/thumb drive, and USB-A to lightning cable. I think I have more USB-A peripherals than USB-C.

I think I have two.
As an fyi, the USB 4 spec doesn’t include USB A anymore; only USB C.
Good.

I can’t believe they cancelled 32 pin serial sort and D-sub VGA on 2000 dollar computer!
