It is always hassle when it comes to plug in the USB devices, 99 per cent time you always try to connect in the wrong direction and then plug it right.
Apple engineered this issue by introducing the Lightning Cable for their iPhones and iPads - you can plug the cable whichever direction you want (up or down), isn't that handy?
USB, being universal connector for every single electronic device, now going to support this reversible feature, as part of USB 3.1 Type-C standard, the new connector will be small, reversible and faster.
The final design and specifications are yet to be finalized in the middle of 2014. New Type-C connector will not be compatible with current USB connectors and cables, as new one is designed for "future performance".
