This is very interesting!<p>It&#x27;s too bad that none of the sources I could find say anything about how this is going to work.<p>I hope it is more like traditional USB than Lightning, i.e. somewhat simpler (Lightning puts <i>a lot</i> of complexity inside the cable). In a way, it&#x27;s a bit sad to lose USB&#x27;s clean differentiation of host (A) and device (B) ports, but I guess nobody really understood those or cared. Symmetry is simpler.
