I want 3 USB-C in PinePhone please, please, please!!! :-) RK3566 supports 3 USB

  Buy a hub. Instead of 3 USB, I'd like USB 3. :D

    Well, this would be sort of integration of hub in a phone (aside from that that the new chip already has built in 3 usb ports) thus a big advantage for daily driver phone that you would use as portable PC. USB3 is already supported AFAIK.

      I think usability of a single port is better. With multiple ports you'd have to teach users which ports support what, like charging, display port, gadget mode, USB 3, etc, despite all ports looking the same. At most you'd get 2 ports anyway, if you want to use USB internally for other purposes (connecting to the modem, etc.)

        > With multiple ports you'd have to teach users which ports support what Probably you're not aware, but that is actually already happening: https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/usb-if_logo_usage_guidelines_final_as_of_august_3_2018_locked.pdf https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/usb-if_logo_usage_gu... Power Delivery negotiations should technically allow charging from any port, but still you can go simple and use appropriate USB logo (as USB certification requires). > At most you'd get 2 ports anyway Two is still better than one ;-) Three is better than two ;-)

  You can already use a USB hub/dock?

    Sure, you can also make a laptop out of new RPi 400 by buying separate screen and bunch of cables ;-) I think you get the point here :-) It is only a slight difference, but at the same time big enough for some to turn mobiles into their daily driver PCs
