Also compare the USB-C physical connector to the reversible power connector on Cinema Display models (circa 2004) and older Mac Minis. To me, there appears to be a strong through line to USB-C’s design. https://open.substack.com/pub/theelectronvault/p/apple-cinema-display-power-connector?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web https://open.substack.com/pub/theelectronvault/p/apple-cinem... USB-C can fulfill some/all of what I was using Thunderbolt 2 for with a MacBook Air and a Thunderbolt Display in 2013. Going back far enough, Apple combined video and data into the HDI 45 connector in the mid-to-late 90’s (but no one was going to use that for a laptop, even a laptop of the era). It was chunky enough even on a Power Mac 6100 and display then. USB-C / TB is the latest example of a direction Apple has been moving in for a long time.
