5:25 "Customers are dumb, don't confuse them." That is indeed the best marketing plan to have.
It will hurt them in the long run, because someone wanted to make a 'cool new name' for usb, even though it spits in the face of pre-established naming convention.
No, that is the worst plan to have.
Confused customers will but something they don't need for more money they should.
@@anj000 That's a different kind of confused. You're talking about customers who _are_ confused, but think they're not. However, if you market something that customers don't understand, they won't buy it. They'll go buy something more dumbed down from the competitor instead.
@@Gilmaris More likely is that they just buy them all if they're confused between many. More money = less thinking; I'll figure it out later. The entire goal of marketing is to sale things and companies take that shit VERY SERIOUSLY. (It's literally their goal, you know. To sell you things.) They would notice VERY QUICKLY if a marketing strategy wasn't working out and they would VERY QUICKLY go back to the drawing board.
I wouldn't say this is ALL companies but it might generally be a good rule of thumb that if it's a multi-million dollar corporation (not sure what USB is but seeing as they're everywhere, it might be the case), they're either supremely lucky or know what they're doing. (Most likely both.)
If anything imagine them as being a bit like my 93 yr old grandmother who has never touched a computer in her life and knows nothing about them.

Now that is a halfway decent idea. Someone should start a campaign to force them to use a better naming scheme. Would need to be someone that has a bit of pull in the tech industry and that could get a couple manufactures onboard.

Lol underated comment
*Bombs drop*
Should just switch to naming it USB X.Y.Z where:
X - generation
Y - revision
Z - # of data lanes...
You're welcome USB...
Or just use points.
USB 1.0
USB 1.1
USB 1.2
USB 1.3
USB 2.0
USB 2.1
USB 3.0
USB 3.1
And so on
I think that this is already too complicated. I think more that 99% of all customers don't care about the data lanes and if someone does ... just Google it.
I would just prefer the naming like in the comment from Thu Ya Win. Maybe write the max transfer speed behind on product pages. Would be much more interesting than the lane configuration.
No, it's too logical
Nope, out the window. Can't do it. It just makes too much sense.

Well, we never actually saw Dumbledore express any interest in a woman. And his closest personal relationship in his youth was with Grindelwald. So his being gay isn't that crazy. Hermione is white in my books tho. She got to okay the book drawings and casting of Elizabeth Watson. So she obviously imagined her as white before.

@@kevinrdunnphs You mean Emma Watson? Not Elizabeth Watson.
I work at a major tech store. And this drives me crazy, because I know the differences between these. And like you say the consumers don't care as long as it works and says 3.0 or is BLUE. Even though many new laptops still come with at least 1 USB 2.0, and 1or2 3.0 ports BUT they've stopped coloring 3.0 ports blue for some godforsaken reason, and don't even identify them.
But it's the WORST when I get a customer that knows what cord they need, high powered and data USB 3+ or type c, and I take forever to find it because they only put 3orC on the package, and I have to go to the manufacturer website to find the correct specs. THEN my manager just hands them the cheapest cord and tells them "Sure, it'll work with anything!" Because that's what we're all led to believe... Then it doesn't work good enough and they return it %50 of the time or live with a lower speed C cable without even knowing there's a difference between every damn cable...
UHG!
I belive Red one is supposed to be 10Gbps USB 3.1 (aka USB 3.2 Gen 2).
@@CompatibilityMadness Isnt red just indicating, that you can draw power from this port during standby/sleep Mode of your PC?
@@Max-li6zu ASUS used "Red" as USB 3.1 10Gbps, example : www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/MAXIMUS-VIII-EXTREME/

What's even worse (imo) is when you have a USB slot that IS colored blue... but the hardware only supports USB 2.x

I genuinely think the majority of consumers see it more like:
- "USB old rectangle / blue rectangle"
- "Small rounded one like a phone charger - is that called USB as well? Ok, weird."
- "USB funny shape. Oh that's an HDMI port and I've run out of USB ports."

I understand your frustration but the marketing department has their own reasons too.
An average consumer buys hardly 7 devices in a year and that may or may not use USB.
That is why your everyday consumers are definitely going to be the stupidest ones.
Now by the consumer's point of view they know that their computer supports USB 3 but if they want to purchase any device online and the detail specification says USB 4 then they would not buy that product.
I hope now you get my point. Always remember that you are living in the world of stupids so think like a stupid.

LOL, I love that you put Comcast/Xfinity up on screen - I worked for them for 10 years as a residential and commercial installer and during that transition period when they "changed names" it made little sense to me - though, on a sidenote, it makes a little bit of sense at least - Comcast, the corporation owns various subsidiaries such as NBC Universal etc.. I guess it is their way to distinguish between their television/internet services and other services or media they provide. Anyhow, I still remember pulling into a customers driveway with my new van and them saying "I am so glad to see Xfinity here, I hate Comcast and if they sent them out I would have asked you to leave" - I just chuckled and went about getting their service sorted out. Good times

or just 3.0, 4.0, 5.0. Both works better than 3.2 gen 1, 3.2 gen 2, 3.2 gen 2x2...
@@pangkan270 there's no major difference in USB 3.0 and 3.1, more of a protocol thing and not a physical thing like usb2 vs usb3. The USB 3.2 gen 2x2, on the other hand, could have been USB 4 or USB 3.3. They could reserve USB4 for a purely Type-C spec. Or imo just append a 'C' in the name if it's a type C like USB 3.3C so you could get cables like usb3.1 to usb3.1C for connecting your desktop PC to your external drive or phone. This for me is better because the performance of a type C cable also depends on the cable's spec (usb3, 3.1, 3.2) and not just because its type C. Likewise, cables could be called USB2C cables so people dont mistakenly buy a usb2 type c cable.
Tldr USB4 is better for a port or protocol that is majorly different enough -- e.g. type C or a new orange 15-lane TYPE A Port.
The problem comes when you buy some USB3.2 thingy, but it turns out that is only Gen1, and you expected Gen 2x2. Of course, it won't be clearly marketed.

Tbf, your grandpa can become your dad in some select cases. I’m sure someone took a DNA test and found this out. 😂
Thank you for this video. It clarified what has taken me over two hours today in trying to figure out what happened to USB 3.0 and 3.1. Apparently there was another renaming called USB 3.1 gen 1 that I didn't even know ever existed, and that no longer does exist. For this idiotic renaming scheme to have worked, they would've had to magically republish all tech articles, manuals, media, packaging, and marketing materials going back five years or more. Idiots.
The REAL problem with post-launch renaming of products comes when you need support.
What search term do you use? Because in the earlier support topics and forums they will call things by the former name. And in recent forums they will sometimes use the new name, or sometimes the old name, or even worse, use the 2 mixed together...
And the official channels will call them by their marketing name, while pretending they don’t know the real spec’s name.
How is anyone going to find relevant topics? “I’m looking for driver for my usb 3.1 device.” -Ok but which 3.1 do you mean the first one or the renamed one? “Idk it just says USB 3 superspeed”
SuperSpeed (without 10gpbs at the end) means the device is usb 3.0 = 3.1 gen 1 = 3.2 gen 1x1. Saying "3.1" without the gen is leaving out crucial information.
@@janjohansson2567 Yeah, however if you aren't on top of the stupid naming schemes you would have no idea what the people were talking about nor would you think it was relevant to your issue. Problem with just renaming things on a whim is that topic that might be relevant to an issue might be dismissed because the product is renamed differently. Most people who see to things renamed differently are going to assume that they are two different things.
@@janjohansson2567 Your part of the problem
i guess most of the time the answer to the question of the support guy will be "dunno, has a blue plug...."
the whole thing with the version number and any additions to it like .2 or x2 will only ever be known by IT personell and even then only if they happened to stumble across a problem with it before.
the average consumer wont know or even care which revision his gadget uses as long as it works and only get mad if he gets told that he bought older slower tech when he is shown and explained the same gadget with the newer tech.

USB Gen Y + 20 (Because they're 20~ years older than Gen X)

What gets me is that is that the rectangular plug invites you to plug it in the wrong way. I've almost damaged USB ports trying to jam in a USB plug the wrong way.
I really thought:
"so that you too can be the life of the party whenenver the subject changes to something lame............." like our sponsor 😂😂😂
There are two layouts I can think of that would fix this completely.
USB 1.0
USB 1.1
USB 2.0
USB 3 Gen 1
USB 3 Gen 2
USB 3 Gen 3
OR
USB 1.0
USB 1.1
USB 2.0
USB 3.0
USB 3.1
USB 3.2
I vote for the second alternative.
I would like the second one please.
Or they could start learn the basics of numbers again to not confuse the hell out of people rather than giving the different versions random names since the speed is the only thing that matters, and was originally the definition of the USB (x) number. The only physical difference between earlier versions and 3 is the 5 extra pins.
That with the (x).0 , (x).1 , (x).2 and gen v's add-on number is more a marketing thing to make it look better that I find silly and dumb when they can change the first number instead (if the same plug can be used on all versions).
If the USB 3.2 with 2 lanes can't work with 1, it should be called UPB (for Universial Parallel Bus) instead and have a complete new socket and plug design since the Serial in (Universial Serial Bus = USB) means 1 single lane that transfers 1 bit per clock cycle (more failure proof but slower and depends ONLY on the clock speed), and Parallel transfers several bits on individual lanes per cycle (less failure proof but much faster and depends on booth the number of lanes and the clock speed).
That would be more correct to call it.
second.

I'm really confused at this time buying some SuperSpeed USB flash drives from Patriot, SanDisk, and Kingston. So now all the blue USB ports are 3.2 Gen whatever. Why? What's the reason for renaming? They could keep it simple by naming them like this: USB 3.0, USB 3.1, and USB 3.2. And Linus, do you still keep printed papers in your wallet? (Old school).

But USB 3.2 has two Parallel data lines!
Shouldn't it be called UPB then?
Actually this is true 🤔🤔🤔....
no, since the data lines are STILL serial. Parallel means that each bit of a single byte travels parallel in 1 burst, so bit 1, 2, 3 and 4 for example would move at the exact same time each on their own cable as a group 'message', serial means the bits all move individually in a cue and get reassembled at the other end into bytes. Two parallel data lines just means twice of that, the bits being sent on each line have no direct byte relation to each other.

I was just looking for this particular comment :-P
Only watched this on December 30 2021, after the HDMI 2.0 = 2.1 and 2.1a situation. What are these times we live in where reality and facts on simple things like USB and HDMI features (meaning how they work) are so changeable where nothing really means anything? For such simple things. All these stupid "marketing" changes are dumb and what's worse they slowly take a toll on a rational mind, when you have to constantly live, day-by-day, translating a naming reality that doesn't reflect actual reality. I never thought about this before, but I'm actually starting to feel doubts about my mental sanity as I grow older. And I'm just 37 now.
I feel you man.
What's worse? Is that people see a USB-C port nowadays and think "40 Gb/s".
Nope. That's not how it works. That USB-C port might actually be as fast as an USB-A port.
