USB 4 will change that by offering the same speeds.
That’s why you’ll find Thunderbolt in your premium MacBook but not in a $300 laptop.
The cost is prohibitive, and that’s just one reason whynot all USB-C is the same.
USB 4 came out of that drive.
And as usual, USB 4 will be backward compatibility with USB 3.2, USB 2.0.
Another benefit should be the cost of USB 4 devices.
Keep in mind though, obtaining these speeds means a refresh of all hardware.
We also don’t know when we’ll see the first USB 4 products.
And the other thing we don’t know?
If you’re hoping it will be called USB 4, don’t hold your breath.
