Boy howdy, I sure can’t wait for 99.9% of all manufacturers on Earth to completely ignore this as well, and keep selling devices and cables that are completely unlabeled.
I mean, you aren’t wrong. Good luck trying to get Apple to put a label on anything.
But they’ll still sell you a $180 USB C cable that’s no different than one you can get for $75 and has all of it’s labels.
Thank fuck, a simple and clear marking that an average user can understand! I assume displayport compatible ports will still have that symbol, which is fine. Soon I’ll be and to price out laptops that will work with a docking station without needing to read the damn manuals!

Next thing you know - all the hardware producers just start using some new standard they’ve collectively conceived. Because “simple and clear” is bad for their business.
General rule:
The longer the product’s name, the more bullshit you get.
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2
We’re adding new, different symbols to the confusing mess of old symbols and keeping both? Neat!
And whatever you buy is just going to be labeled as the fastest even if it doesn’t actually meet the standard.
“up to”
I’m still trying to find a good beard trimmer and electric toothbrush that charge with USB-C.
These are the only gadgets i have left that aren’t charged with USB-C.
90% of USB cables are 480Mbps and it’s not even included. This will be useless.
Fucking finally
What is high-speed USB suppose to be? No speed just for charging?
Usually what’s called simpler as opposed to techy ways makes things, in fact, loads of crap more complex.
So I was curious because these new logos drop the wattage. From the one of the links to another pcworld article they have an image with the new logo but both the wattage and the speed. https://www.pcworld.com/article/2572128/an-updated-usb-logo-will-now-mark-the-fastest-docking-stations.html If all they did was change the shape of the logo that’s total garbage.
