We could have a compact version, say 3.5mm, with different segments to carry different signal types. More segments can be added to allow for additional features. It could work with audio, video, power, and other data transfer. That would fit ideally into a phone.

i mean, USB 1 and 2 are just 4 conductors, so TRRS.

USB-C can have up to 20, so TRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRS
