The most abundant connector standard in technology, the Universal Serial Bus, is getting ready for its most revolutionary change yet with a new specification that will be finalized in July of this year. Breaking physical compatibility with current ports, USB Type-C is much smaller than the USB plugs youre used to and is, perhaps more importantly, symmetrical. The reversible design means youll be able to connect a Type-C cable without worrying about the plugs orientation or the cables direction. Intended to replace both USB and Micro USB with one universal standard, Type-C looks to be pretty much the same size as Apples proprietary Lightning cable, which has a similar reversible design.
