Having only one plug shape simplifies a lot, and this doesn't change how difficult is to choose a product. At all.
- TwoBit 10y agoMy concern is that within two years they will realize that the C plug doesn't support some new 2019 protocol and they will create USB Type D.
- Timethy 10y agoBut it's still too thick for charging my wireless earbuds so let's include type D mini... Or was that micro? So much for universal. USB has lost its way.
- gumby 10y agoThat's a legitimate concern but I have to say USB Type C is about as future proof as you can be at this point in time. So 2019, at least, is probably safe! There were a lot of smart people working on that standard. In fact, amidst the uproar over the introduction of Apple's symmetrical Lightning cable and USB's opportunistic announcement that "Hey we're working on one too, honest!" people seemed to overlook that Apple had people working on the USB Type C committee as well.
