Will this global push end up limiting miniaturization of electronics? Even if it does, may still be a worthwhile tradeoff.
It aims to eliminate waste by reducing the number of cords and plugs required for various devices. It will surely have to be upgraded and miniaturized as tech progresses, but for now it's one everyone is agreeing on.
One aspect to consider for miniature devices is wireless charging. My watch and my headphones don't even have a port
What miniaturization? I generally try to buy the smallest reasonable phone, and every generation they get slightly bigger.
