Except that almost every phone that anyone in my family has ever owned
(even from the same manufacturer) has needed a different charger.
Not mine, almost every phone with the exception of the current two used
the same charger, even when they changed the plug they included a handy
little adapter. Unfortunately, they supplied a new charger with every
new phone....
Why the hell couldn't that (ie voltage/plug type) have been
standardised years ago, which would have allowed the above eg to have
happened?
Because it makes sense.
