USB 4 is using USB C connector.

  Same connector, but different standards. We will likely still have to buy new cables/devices to take advantage of the new features.

    Or you can not take advantage of the new features? I didn't throw out my USB 3 flash drives when USB 3.1 came out. There's no compatibility problem here that would make you change anything at all, just ignore it.

      Tell that to switch owners who have had thier devices fried by incomparable chargers. Tell that to the devices that claim "not charging" unless plugged into chargers with specific features. Usb c is a compatability mess. I would not assume backwards compatability to be universal.

        USB 4 is USB-C connector only and Power Delivery is a mandatory part of the spec instead of being optional. This won't stop Nintendo or somebody else from fucking it up, but it does mean everything marketed as being USB 4 is required to support standard chargers.
