I don’t know how we got to where we did, but aren’t you glad USB C came along?
In: Technology
I love the reference to “USB starting with so many variants.” You just haven’t gone back far enough to see that it did start with one variant, fractured, then has re-merged into USB C.
What will further melt your brain is looking deeper into the USB protocols vs the connector type. What’s the difference between USB 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2? Can I identify these protocols by port? Does any cable that can plug into a USB 3.2 port guarantee USB 3.2 speeds?
As to “Can USB C replace the rest of them?” Yes. For now. But why did USB C come about in the first place? Through the requirement for a more dense pin configuration for a higher bandwidth connection. So USB C will replace them all, until we need more pins on the port and USB D is rolled out. Rinse and repeat for infinity.
