- InitialLastName 6y agoIt's way past time for USB over TRRS.
- jaywalk 6y agoThat would require a pretty long connector and a correspondingly deep port.
- Black101 6y agowhy would it need to be longer then a current USB connector?
- jayd16 6y agoI don't think you can just take the current design and "make it round." You can't just put pins on a cylinder. They wouldn't align as you rotated the connector. The other way to do it would be co-axially like a headphone jack...but those are deep.

- spockz 6y agoBecause it is a round pin, the only way to get more individual contacts is to make the pin longer. If you try to distinguish in another direction you could not rotate the plugs anymore. Edit: whoops had an old page open
- toast0 6y agoWe could use 2.5mm headphone jacks. TRRS would be enough pins for USB 2. Just need marketing to convince people that slower and less interference is good and valorous.
