Weekly poll results: Half the people have at least one USB Type-C device

The future is now, sort of. USB Type-C has reached mainstream adoption and is steadily pushing away the trusty old microUSB 2.0. That said, microUSB is far from dead - it is actually the only port 43% of our readers have on their phones.
