      3.0 is what they were originally called. I’m not always against retconning but this time it makes no sense. The Type-A plug is identical for all of them anyway.

      The left two ones are obviously 9-pin, so 3.0. The right one is a different model (for one, the metal is wrapped into a U, not C) but still could be a 3.0 one if the 5 extra pins are shorter than on the other connectors.

      3.0 and 2.0 are the same, aren’t they?

      I remember that annoyingly, 3.1 and 2.1 relate differently and 3.2 is the one that everybody calls “USB 3”.

        3.0 and 2.0 are very different. 3.0 has more pins and gigabit speeds. It’s 3.0 and 3.1 which are essentially equivalent, and USB 3 Gen 1, and whatever else they called it
