The paywalled report published today corroborated the widely-rumored "iPhone 17 Air" with an "ultrathin" design that is thinner than current iPhone models. The report did not mention a specific measurement, but previous...
It still amazes me how crappy and unsafe US power plugs are, far inferior to the ones used in Europe, the UK ones are the most sturdy ones but way too bulky and who needs a fuse in every plug, the more compact EU ones are better IMO.
As for these USB chargers, I never need more than one at a time, I do understand 2 but 4, for what?

I picked up a couple of outlets with USB plugs in them, they work great in the bedroom on each side of the bed. No more cubes like this. I need one in the guest room that is also a GFCI.
Yup, same, no need for big protruding chargers, just a charging cable.

Cannot comment on crappy but unsafe? What makes you say that? I would be surprised if there is any quantitative information available that shows with a degree of statistical significance that the European power plugs are safer than what is in use in the US.

There are some safety features of UK and/or EU plugs that make them safer. UK plugs, if I'm not mistaken, are always grounded, and require the ground pin to be inserted before the hot or neutral can be, preventing kids from sticking forks or whatever in the plug.
And yet, somehow, we Yanks manage not to kill ourselves. Accidents do happen, of course, but it's hardly an epidemic.

Phone, tablet, headphones, smart watch - that's 4 devices that you can charge over USB, and I bring all of them with me when I travel (Heck, I use all of them on a daily basis anyways).
But lets say you're old school... you and the wife are travelling together. You each have a phone, so there's 2 ports. Toss in a tablet, or some headphones, maybe a watch... you can quickly use 4 ports.
Granted, it's becoming less and less necessary to bring the charger with you - hotels and airports have USB ports for charging scattered all over the place these days. Just bring the USB cable. You may have to fight for a plug at the airport, but at the hotel they've got them in the lamps, in the radios, in the back of the TV. Bringing your own charger is more for convenience than anything else, and on the off-chance your hotel hasn't upgraded anything in the past decade.
