^ This isn't a standard created by Apple. It's actually a standard created by Intel called Lightpeak. Apple just so happens to include it this year when the official launch date for Lightpeak is next year. Many others have jumped on board for this I/O. I am sure it will co-exist well with USB 3.0. I'm definitely ecstatic about this because you can run a monitor, external drives, as well as other peripherals using one wire! The I/O is a Displayport connector.
