USB-D!😎 Shaped like a crescent moon! Also, we're going back to brick phones to accommodate the shape.

    And they should be secured with thumb screws, like an old parallel cable.

    Funnily enough, USB c can also do that.

    Once you've used one you'll be angry that they're not standard, at least on desktop/kiosk devices. USB-A also had that as an option.

    I use Goop adhesive for cables I don't want falling out.

    Only takes a tiny amount at the connector shoulder, it'll never fall out but is still removable by hand.

    Or if I really want it to stay, I use a lot of goop, and I know that fucker is never coming out without a sharp knife.

    Let's not skip Mini USB-C along the way

  • In all seriousness, this would make the most sense in terms of progression in design. It already sorta' is just that, but it's been stepped on.

    Hah! Just hit me, if I'd seen a USB-C plug back in the day, my first thought would've been "oof, someone isn't playing bootleg cartridge games for a while!"

    My guess is USB D will be one dimensional, ie a cylinder pin, like the good old headphone jack. You can plug it with your eyes closed or in the dark
