Since Apple's New Macbook was equipped with the type-c interface last year, more and more mobile phone manufacturers have been following suit, gradually penetrating from high-end to low-end, which is the development path in smartphones. At present, the mainstream flagship models newly released in the market have fully started using the USB type-c interface.

It is understood that the LeTV super mobile phone series, Xiaomi series, Moto Z/M, LG G5, Jinli M5 Plus, ZUK Z1, Huawei P9 series, ZTE AXON Tianji MAX, OnePlus One 2, Jinli S8, Meizu Pro 6S/5 all use type-c interfaces in the market at present. There are also rumors that the Apple 8, which will be launched next year, will also use the type-c interface.

Based on the above data, the author believes that phones priced over 1500 yuan in the first half of 2021 will be fully equipped with Type-C interfaces, and phones priced over 1000 yuan in the second half of 2021 will be fully equipped with Type-C interfaces.

So why is the type-C interface being sought after by mobile phone manufacturers? Let's analyze it and find out. Due to the type-c interface being able to support data, audio, video, and charging simultaneously, it is also compatible with various mainstream high-definition video interface standards such as Display Port, HDMI, MHL, and more. The type c compatible with Thunderbolt3 can provide speeds up to 40Gbps, making dual 4k high-definition transmission possible. Therefore, type-c undoubtedly becomes the best choice for future video interfaces. High definition monitors, flat panel TVs, and VR/AR devices will bid farewell to the coexistence of multiple interfaces and use type-c to achieve the unity of audio, video, and power supply. On mobile phones, you can replace the 3.5-inch headphone connector.

In addition, the type-c interface can bring convenience for forward and backward insertion, and the maximum flow defined by the type-c interface connector is 5A, while retaining the flow definition of 10A to meet the fast charging requirements, which is also what terminal manufacturers value. At the same time, Type-C, which integrates charging, data, and audio and video interface functions, is very powerful, and the establishment of this ecosystem will form a situation where the interface is widely used worldwide. Given this, from a top-down perspective in the industry chain, industry giants such as USB associations, standard setting, interface chips, foundries, and consumer terminals have spared no effort to promote the popularization of USB C interfaces.

It is understood that mainstream domestic mobile phone supporting suppliers such as Foxconn, BYD, and Dafu Technology are also laying out and producing type-c interface related products, and have continued to ship them.
