In an effort to focus on *something* possitive today, at least Samsung hasn't created their own charging connector port. They could. They have a large platform from watches to TV's. But they still stick with USB C, thank God. I can use the Chromebook chord to charge the phone. I can connect the phone to the Chromebook using a braille display charger. I love that kind of freedom, and it's one reason I've not used the iPhone in like two weeks.
