iphone won't charge

[Nick]

I wonder how the new USB-C conecctors will fare in real life. They look like the answer to life, the universe and everything. A truly universal connector for almost any purpose from power to video.

I have a Google Nexus 5X phone with USB C.

Love it - no "right way up" to fiddle with and charges very very fast (up to 3 Amps).

So you don't completely waste your old micro-USB-2 chargers, you can get little micro-USB-2 to USB-C adapters - these work fine but obviously charge slowly
