And these days, USB also helps clean up the mobile
phone charger
mess: an increasing number of new phones just use USB with a micro
USB connector instead of every phone needing its very own wallwart
with a very special connector.
The connector is not all there is to it. I recently ran into a device
(not a phone, but it wouldn't surprise me if phones did the same thing)
that, if you plug in the wrong charger, even though the connector is
correct, displays a snarky message about how you have to use the
charger and cable that came with the device, and refuses to charge.
