Doesn’t it seem like a waste of time when you have to figure out what side of the USB plug goes into your device when you want to charge it? It seems work has begun to create a new USB connector called Type C that is supposedly going to be finalized mid-2014. The connector will be around the size of a microUSB plug and will be reversible.
“This new industry standards-based thin connector delivering data, power, and video is the only connector one will need across all devices,” Brad Saunders, USB 3.0 Promoter Group chairman, said in a press release.
