USB was supposed to rule them all but it’s now a mess of standards sharing the same connector. Different speeds, voltage, charging protocols, alt modes, even the number of pins used is variable… For those asking, the thing is available on Kickstarter
And then relabel all the old standards when they create a new one so every generation you need to figure-out what al the new names mean.
They actually renamed the types which makes everything even more confusing
