![]() This isn't Apple's first time doing away with old standards in favor of newer, better ones. ![]() It's one of the things we were most excited about when we saw the USB-C connector at CES 2015. The days of flipping the USB connector over once, then again because it somehow was correct the first time, will be a thing of the past once the standard gains traction. Perhaps the best feature of the new USB connector is that no matter what orientation its plugged in as, it will still work. The new USB standard supports data transfer speeds of 10 Gbps (yes, GIGAbits), and power delivery up to 100 watts. Rather than a proprietary standard created by Apple, the USB-C is a universal serial bus standard representing the "culmination of an extensive, cooperative effort among industry leaders," according to Brad Saunders of the USB 3.0 Promoter Group. Apple announced that its new laptop would use only the single port for all the usual port functions that now populate the side of your computer: data transfer, video out, and power, all in one.
