Not buying a shaver from Philips again.. - SLRPNK

I am probably late on this one, but god damn this is one nasty trick by Philips. Context; I recently decided to upgrade my shaver, from a Philips One Blade to Philips an all-in-one-trimmer-7000. As you can see on the pictures below, they changed the charger for the adapter by maybe 1–2 millimetres, just so the old charger could not be used by the old charger. Now, this normally isn’t a big deal, but with the new trimmer, the charger is USB-A only. Where’s the previous one had the plug on it instead. To me this is mildly infuriating as I know need to get an extra adapter just to charge my shaver in the bathroom. They had the exact same design for the chargers, yet changed it just slightly so they wouldn’t be able to be reused? Why… Philips… why?

If one of them is 5V then I have no idea why they didn’t use Type B or Micro USB.
Type B or Micro USB is the worst cable ever created. Change my mind.
I literally won’t buy a product that uses micro USB. It’s the only.standard cable I have used where I’ve had both cables and the connector on the device fail.

Just on a regularly occurring basis. They were always the failure point in my devices.

Absolutely garbage durability.

That’s why I also mentioned Type B

Mini USB is much less popular
Doesn’t break as often as Micro USB so I hate it slightly less. :D
