It's already joined devices since 2015, and will feature on almost every phone, major or minor (iPhones excluded). It'll take some time to get there, but USB-C is the future. Many of these extras won't come with your phone in the box. You may need: USB-C-to-USB-C, USB-C-to-USB-B and USB-C-to-USB-A.
That's a pain to mentally sort out, and a real hassle if you need to then buy a bunch of adaptor cables to make sure your new phone still plugs into your old laptop. It also means you're launching into an awkward period where your gadgets might use different cables. Switching to USB-C means you'll have to remember to pack your new cable with you when you leave the house, or stock up on more. When you plug your cable into the phone and then into your laptop or another device, you'll pull down a software menu that lets you choose the kind of connection you're making: for example, charging, or if you want to use the cord to power another device. Google's two new headliner phones, the Pixel and Pixel XL use Android Nougat to showcase USB-C. Android 7.0 Nougat supports USB-C 3.1 (and so did 6.0 Marshmallow), but even then, device makers have to opt in for their hardware to start using it.
The software has to be coded to work with all those extra features other than plain-old charging.

In order to take in USB-C's full USB 3.1 bounty, the operating system really does make a difference. Google's Pixel phone uses USB-C to charge another device.
