    Now that’s a USB C hub.

    I hate the way when you search for USB C hub on amazon you get a list of USB C dongles with ethernet and HDMI, a couple of A ports and 1 or maybe 2 C ports.

      This one has a massive power brick and all ports can charge and run full speed. I’ve restores multiple iPhones and iPads simultaneously with it. It would be about perfect if it didn’t randomly drop ports once a week or so.
