    Outside the Apple world, a dock connector has been the norm way before USB C was invented.

      I miss actual dock connectors. Cramming everything into a single USB-C connection has always been problematic for me. I have a lot of stuff.

      My work laptop has a USB-C dock where I have Ethernet (1000mbps), three display port displays, mouse, keyboard, wireless headset dongle, and a dual head USB to displayport adapter.

      That’s a lot of bandwidth.

      I frequently have little problems keeping everything working correctly.

      Luckily, I don’t push high bandwidth video though any display for work, so generally I don’t see many bandwidth problems.
