Electronics manufactures must from Saturday fit all devices sold in the EU with USB-C charger ports in a bid by the 27-nation bloc to reduce waste and cut costs for consumers, who will no longer have…
It’s very unlikely that the C-type port is changing anytime soon. Most devices will stay on whatever underlying USB version that the manufacturer deems adequate for that device.
It’s irrelevant anyway because the law only dictates the port type not the version number. It’s very unlikely they’re going to randomly change the port design.
The only reason they went from USB A and B to C was that USB A and USB B were terrible, they were not designed with forward thinking, had technological limitations that meant upgrading the protocol was next to impossible and would just generally not well thought out.
USB C assumes devices in the future may actually need better than currently seems reasonable power transfer capabilities and data speeds, it’s an actually compact port rather than USB B which required so many subversions to deal with the fact that it was massive, and is directionally agnostic. There was plenty of built-in capability there to increase the version number without having to redesign the port again. We are not going to get a USB D, it just won’t happen.
Don’t celebrate until the next version of USB comes out. Will this force everyone to adopt the newest version always or cling to the oldest?
As long as it uses the physical type c port it’s all good. Not that I care. USB got faster and faster and I use it less and less over the years.
Why are you bringing this up like it hasn’t been discussed thousands of times? Like it hasn’t been stated (and cleared) in this very post?
We transitioned from USB Micro B to USB-C.
that was before this law, so quite irrelevant to the question.
