Can someone with a FE confirm that the charging port in the rear is a 3A/5V USB Type C as it states in the manual? Any pictures? Are the USB ports in the front USB Type A 3.1 (super-speed) or 3.0? or...ghastly 2.0? Wish they had a Type C in the front.
Thanks!
USB Ports
I have at last seen a description of the USB ports. I believe the rear port is Type C and the two ports in the front are one Type C (the lower one), and one Type A which is confirmed as 3.1.The latter is the one with the white line surround to indicate it's the one to use for Apple CarPlay etc..

Yes Boomer - wrote the last post incorrectly! Two Type As in the front - 2.0. The Type C in the back is 3.1.

Yes I can believe that, but in the manual it implies they are both 2.0.

Thanks useful to know.
Why would they fit a Type C, surely it would make more sense to have a USB so it offers more compatibility as you can always get a USB to Type C cable.
Is using a Type C to Type C cable seen as quicker / better?

...and vice versa. USB A is dying albeit slowly. USB C is (meant to be) the future!

So, has anyone found a converter for the back USB-c port to dual standard usb that works well?
Get my new FE tomorrow and I know the usb-c is going to be the first issue the kids have.
