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
