I have not yet seen any depictions of the Type C or how many variations and adapters it will spawn.

On the surface it looks like they have already stepped into it with all those variations for PD (Power Delivery) aware cables and multiple power levels. And the power can flow either way, host to device or device to host. I am sure the user documentation will be easy to understand... /s

And the daft SuperSpeed+ naming. Seriously, the marketing people are still very much in charge it seems. It must have everything, do everything. It shall indeed be SUPER !
