The easy way to get more data through a port is to add more data lines (and update the connector to support it). I guess the hard way would be to use fiber (another different connector) or maybe coax data lines instead of differential lines (connector might still work but connecting old and new systems would be interesting).
So if I’m understanding this proposal right, we will never live in a world where improving on USBC will happen?

It's completely proprietary, but is negotiated, and the cable can be used just fine for other purposes (my S/O saw mine and also wanted a fancy red cable). But, yeah. Innovation will now happen at the cadence of EU law: which is technically a good thing for e-waste.

- kalleboo 5y agoAs long as it's backward-compatible with existing chargers then device manufacturers can do anything. They could even put 2 ports on the device, where one is USB-C.
