They do not adopt USB type-C connectors in it’s machines. The options as I see it are as follows, in increasingly less-likely order: Users will not be able to determine as easily which end of the cable goes in go the computer/charger or into the device.With lightning at one end and USB type-C connector at the other users will lose the reversible nature of the cable for Apple devices.This will cause problems for Apple two-fold. One can assume that most users will become accustomed to not caring which end of the cable they are plugging in. As many speculative comparisons have pointed out, they will be similar in size ( and hopefully structure too), and to all other users the cable direction will be reversible (“users will no longer need to be concerned with plug orientation/cable direction”). Assuming Apple do integrate this new standard into their existing line up of laptop & desktop machines, replacing the existing USB ports, cables such as the existing Apple lightning cable will have lightning at one end and the new reversible USB at the other. What I’d like to discuss is what this means for Apple users once USB type-C is integrated into the mass market. There has been much talk about the reversible nature of the new plug and many have compared the plans to the already reversible plug being used on the Apple lightning connector. The corporation founded by the group of companies that developed the Universal Serial Bus (USB) specification are defining a new standard to rollout to the world, the full specification of which is set to appear in “the middle of 2014”.
