Well, let’s be thankful for what we have. If you think back to 2009 or 2008 we were just happy to have a flip phone or a candy bar phone with talking caller ID. Now we can just about do anything on our phones that anyone else can do. So if we need to buy a charger the charger is interchangeable with almost any cable. Again let’s be thankful for what we have.
