The new connector, called Type-C, is an addition to the existing USB 3.1 specification and is expected to be finalized by the middle of 2014. Type-C will be around the size of a Micro USB plug and, like Apples Lightning connector, will finally be reversible — in other words, no more frustrated attempts to charge your phone with an upside-down cable. In a press release, USB 3.0 Promoter Group chairman Brad Saunders said that Type-C will meet evolving design trends in terms of size and usability” while allowing for future scalability in charging and data transfer. Type-C will enable an entirely new super-thin class of devices from phones to tablets, to 2-in-1s, to laptops to desktops.” said Alex Peleg of Intel.
