And then they went too far and introduced laptops that only used USB-C before finally setting at a (so far) happy medium.

I think we needed Apple to do that to throw a lot of weight behind the standard so it didn't get stuck in an eternal migration that never ends. Though removing the SD card slot was dumb since USB-C was never an alternative to SD cards.

Even today the desktop PC market is still stuck on USB-A since they have no Apple equivalent to just get things done.

  • I really don’t understand what SD card reader on MacBook Pro is for.

    All small cameras and devices use micro SD. Professional cameras don’t use SD since forever now. Basically I always need an adapter now.
