Status
Where each connector sits in the market today. Factual labels only. The home catalog sorts Emerging first, then Standard, Established, Declining, and Legacy.
Standard
95The connector path most new products are standardizing on right now.
Emerging
70Shipping on newer high-end products and growing, but not yet the market default.
Established
50Widely present on devices already in use. Normal to encounter, not the newest standard.
Declining
25Still on a large installed base. Less often chosen for brand-new consumer designs.
Legacy
5Kept so older equipment still works. Rarely the starting point for new products.
