First renders of the reversible USB 3.1 cable released

We've become accustomed to knowing one end of a USB cablevision has to go into a estimator or charger, and the other end goes into your phone, but there is a future where you lot can use either end in either thingie, and this is what that utopian paradise looks like. The USB Implementers Forum is showing off two USB three.1 connector standards today.

Type-C shows off a design similar to the microUSB format we all know and honey, except it's the same at both ends, and there's no set top or bottom for those plugs. This reversible tip is a feature Apple'due south been getting an early lead with using their Lightning connector, though the more straight comparison would be Apple's Thunderbolt. The Micro-B cable shows a slightly wider mobile connector we've already seen cropping upward in devices like the Samsung Galaxy Note three

Why exercise we need a new USB standard? Well, increased data speeds for 1. Nosotros're talking 10 Gbps, versus the five Gbps available on USB iii.0. Ii, you can expect faster charging times. We'll be getting between 3 A and v A of electric current, up from 1.v A. All of these new USB plugs will be backwards compatible with the iii.0 products in marketplace (with an adapter, possibly?), then no demand to worry near things getting too wonky with your existing hardware. In any case, information technology'll be cool to start seeing micro-sized plugs built into PCs and chargers.
