Why USB C is the future?

In comparison with the old Type-A, micro B, micro A connector, the most obvious advantage of USB C is that you can easily plugin because it's reversible, just like Apple's lightning connector. And the plug can be inserted on either end and it will work. Besides, it's small and can support various new USB standard like USB 3.1 and USB power delivery (USB PD), which means you can charge and sync at a higher speed.
