The chargers l have work just fine. Why do I need to change them?
You'll probably need them for old devices. But generally you'll just need a USB A to C cable.
Why does it need to change? The older connectors were too fragile, and needed to be too big of that were to support fast data. USB C can do all of the current data standards and is a pretty robust connector
You may want a newer charger anyway in order to charge faster
To not have to buy and carry around several different cables for your devices
You don't. But all your new devices from now on will have USB C charging.
