micro USB 3

it's great because one half [on the female
side] can take a micro USB [2.0 and lower] as a backwards compatible socket

my mum did this on her new smart tv and she phoned me for tech support because her usb stick of photos wouldn't work

i guessed the old 'usb in ethernet' mistake in like 2 minutes but she assured me that it wasn't and so we spent 40 minutes going down a maze of menus to nowhere as she described menu items and their icons to me, verbally

then months later she was visiting and she mentioned that i was right and i said that's because i'm always right and she called me arrogant

its a kinda trivial problem with modern electronics the bigger problem is headphone jacks suck for constantly unplugging+plugging in because of the way the springs on the connector work. BNC and XLR are both much better connectors but are way huger
