Reuse USB-C, negotiate faster power deliver/alternate data modes, fall back to plain USB for other chargers.
Not a big problem.
- movedx 7y agoThat's my point: what if USB-C, as a form factor, isn't suitable? And what if it would be a waste of space/materials as your connect was 10x smaller and more efficient physically too? But you raise a good point: I'm forced to use the same physical interface (USB-C) so I can't innovate in the physical realm neither. I can't innovate/test a new protocol if it requires a new connector and I can't keep the protocols in place but innovate on the physical aspects neither. Nice.
