This is funny to me because so many people wanted USB-C to be a government mandated, gun pointed to your head standard, and they couldn’t see how now we are stuck with USB-C being the default connector. That never meant you automatically get new protocols running over that wire. You still have to buy new cables.
I dont get it, what am I missing if I use USB-C? What is there waiting on the sides that cant use that hardware?
The devices are outgrowing the capabilities of the cables. Doesn’t matter if the connector fits or not.
I guess I could search for it myself, but do you have a specific example?
You're Probably Using the WRONG USB Charging Cable
