To address the immense demands of digital video, audio, data transfer and power charging requirements, USB-IF saw the need for a new, robust cable and connector. It is a great thing, not just for smartphones, but for pretty much everything with the idea of one cable and one port that can do it all.
USB Type-C is a reversible, highly reliable connector. After the specification is officially released, it is estimated that it will take 12 to 18 months before products will be available in the market, Ravencraft highlights. At present, several global companies are actively participating in the final stages of development of the draft USB4 specification. The USB4 standard will be officially published in the middle of 2019. This new specification is trying to unify the Thunderbolt and USB protocols as part of Intel's goal to make Thunderbolt available on a royalty-free basis, which should result in broader adoption and lower cost availability of Thunderbolt accessories in the future.

USB4's underlying Thunderbolt 3 protocol also means the specification can support two 4K displays or even future 8K TV over a single cable. Also, USB4 will support various display protocols and USB Power Delivery 3.0. The maximum data transfer rate supported by the new USB4 interface is 40 Gbps over 40 Gbps-certified cables. The new interface will use USB Type-C connectors and will maintain backwards compatibility with USB 2.0, USB 3.2, and Thunderbolt 3 interfaces. The USB4 specification will be based on the Thunderbolt 3 protocol that Intel has contributed to the USB Promoter Group.

With USB4 serving as both an upgrade to the feature set and a physical layer tweak to provide more data bandwidth, the specification will be made available in 2019 according to the USB-IF. This upcoming standard promises to integrate the high-bandwidth Thunderbolt 3 specification and along with it the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) will simplify the USB branding scheme. This year, the big technical development of the USB technology is USB4.
