Comment on Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop!

Probably not since the EU has made USB-C mandatory. What can change is the protocol that runs over those wires. Like how Thunderbolt uses the USB-C connector but is not a USB protocol

Mandatory for how long? Can’t be stuck with this shitty spec forever I hope?

Mandatory for the time being. They can change the directive if they deem it necessary in case of new tech.

Mandatory until the European Commission updates the standard. The law mandating the use of USB-C explicitly has a procedure for how to propose a new standard to supersede the current one.
