That USB you never plugged in the first time will disappear!!!

The USB Type-C cable is already present in the lives of most people who bought a new cell phone in the last two years, but it is still not as present in other devices such as notebooks and desktop computers. This may be about to change, if the documentation leaked on Twitter is true.
Intel, the company responsible for the greece mobile database standard, is reportedly working on edition 4.0 of the pr
oduto in three different formats (0x9A1B, 0x9A1D and 0x9A13), but none of them provide for that traditional rectangular USB Type-A plug that you NEVER fit into your computer the first time, you know?
“_rogame” was the one who leaked the documentation, specialized in leaks about the world of hardware, he also explains that Intel's documentation mentions backward compatibility with the USB 3.1 standard, but does not mention USB 1.0 and 2.0 at any time, but that they predicted the USB Type-A plug as standard.
If this leak is real, computer and other device manufacturers that decide to adopt the 4.0 standard will be forced to use the Type-C plug or one of the other compact variants that are accepted in this version.
Still, it will be up to these companies to define the number of Type-A and Type-C plugs in their new devices even if they adopt USB 4.0, as it is perfectly possible to have two controllers for different USB versions in the same device.
However, considering the current migration movement to the Type-C plug, led by Apple, it is very likely that traditional USB-A will definitely begin to disappear from new computers in the next few years or even within a few months.
