Well USB-A to USB-C is always going to be lower quality than USB-C to USB-C. USB-A stuff is always an after thought because its essentially dead. Personally I would recommend getting a very good USB-C to USB-C cable and buying tiny adapters to switch to other older standards. USB-C PD now supports up to 240W, Amazon has UGreen 240W cables available. Essentially if you get this you can use this cable to charge any electronic device that has come out or will come out in the future.

Ok, should I get an adapter for Micro-B and USB-A, and use 2 adapters at the same time for data transfer? Except for 2 phones (iPhone 7 & Samsung S9), all of my phones have Micro-B. For charging, I can use only the Micro-B adapter, if I have a USB-C charger. 10 phones, both of my Bluetooth speakers and both of my old, garbage tablets use Micro-B. Also, I need a good USB-A charger (not power bank) for my iPod Mini. Any recommendations?

Do you do data transfer currently using USB-A to Micro-B with existing devices? You could probably do this using a wireless transfer app like Airdroid (android) if you really had to. Data transfer should still work with adapters, only USB-A to USB-A has issues since USB standard doesn't really support that. (think of older USB cables as being directional).

From the reply I can gather you are pretty against going USB-C for stuff. If thats the case I would stick to older Anker stuff for equipment. They basically make the best quality stuff in regards to cables, chargers, and portable batteries.

How, on a phone with Android 2.3.6?

I don't use them all at once, but I turn them on at least once a month.
