Wall outlets aren't exactly a modern design, but they can be made much more useful with USB ports built in. Replacing your old outlets is a good idea in general, especially if you live in an old house or have loose plug, so it's worth it to get some that are ready to charge your tech. For the best results, you want USB with Power Delivery support, though if you're not in a rush, you can get away with slower charging. You can even get a GFCI outlet to use in the kitchen or bathroom.
