USB-C USB Type-C
Reversible 24-pin connector — power, video, data, all in one hole.
Standardised in 2014. Carries USB 2/3/4 data, DisplayPort/HDMI via Alt Mode, Thunderbolt 3/4/5, and up to 240 W of power via USB-PD 3.1. Annoying: the connector tells you nothing about what the cable can actually do. A "USB-C cable" might be 480 Mbps + 60 W, or 80 Gbps + 240 W. The EU 2024 mandate forced Apple to switch from Lightning starting with the iPhone 15.
