You need to remind that power users (like I would describe myself) are having an 2nd external display.

So there's only one USB-C left. So I easily get into trouble without any additional hub.

Furthermore I need a hub to read SD-Cards (what's just not possible without an external device/hub)

Beside that I have a Micro-USB for my camera (but you can also assume this as a "webcam-slot"), at least one Lightning-Cable to Charge the iPhone / AirPods / Trackpad / Keyboard, one USB-C to my iPad.

So I would need to change cable with a setup of Lightning (1), USB-C (2), Micro-USB (3), external Monitor (4 > no more slots), SD-Card-Reader (5 -> Need to have a Hub).

I definitely won't switch cables x times a day.

thanks for your kind words.

Really annoying what apple releases recently.

Beginning from the very buggy iOS 13 + iPhone 11, I had the MacBook Pro 16" 2019 Model where fans are starting to run like a jet just when you plug in 2 external 4k monitors, then the iPhone 12 again has lots of laggy behaviours in certain sceaniors, now the mini (okay maybe it's just only mine buggy one) first the time machine backup I installed was enormously buggy, then with a hdmi -> hdmi & usb-c -> hdmi after wakeup the second display wasn't accessible (the mouse didn't want to get out of one display) and in the end this bluetooth bug. Hope that the mini problems are all connected to the same hardware problem, but I am really sad with the last items I bought from apple ( and I had beside the 7s or so any iPhone since the 2g, and buy a new Macbook every 1-2 years and of course more or less any accessory they released :( ... )
