I believe everyone is familiar with the USB type C interface. Nowadays, there are more and more devices with type C interfaces. For example, the several new phones released this year mostly use type C interface data connection cables, and type C has been regarded as a standard configuration by Android phones. So, have you really recognized what a type c interface is? Let's take a look at how good it is!

Type C is a type of USB interface connection surface that can be inserted on both sides regardless of the front and back, with a size of approximately 8.3mm × 2.5mm, like other types of interfaces, supports USB standard charging, data transmission, display output, and other functions. The type c interface is a relatively new type of interface, which is expected to become popular soon, such as the new version of MacBook and List of Xiaomi products.

The "type" in the type c interface we often refer to can be understood as the interface type. I believe you can see from the above figure that the interface we often use in our computers belongs to Type-A, and Type-B is more applied to printers. The type c interface will become the future trend.

The term "USB" in the USB-C interface that some people like to refer to refers to interface specification standards. For example, the USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 we use on computers refer to different specification standards. The theoretical bandwidth of USB 2.0 is 480Mbps, USB 3.0 can reach 5Gbps, and USB 3.1 (Gen2) is currently the highest 10Gbps USB interface.

Next, as the editor correctly interprets type c:

The type c interface is faster, reaching 5Gbps or 10Gbps. Some people may know that the type c has a power supply capacity of 100W, and some friends may also know that Intel's Thunderbolt 3 interface uses the type c interface, which not only achieves a speed of 40Gbps, but also can transmit video and support dual 4K output.

of the friends who have used a USB interface have encountered situations where the front is not inserted correctly, the back is not inserted correctly, and the front is inserted again. I think this alone is enough to replace other USB interfaces, because type C can be inserted both front and back, and the professional point is that the interface has no directionality. Apple fans are also proud of this factor compared to Android users, because Apple's iPhone has had such a design for a long time. The Lightning interface on the iPhone 5 can be easily plugged in, without the need to recognize the front and back like Android phones, which is much more comfortable to use.

In this era where simplicity is the main focus and beauty, for mobile phone manufacturers, the fewer interfaces a phone has, the better. Therefore, after removing the 3.5mm headphone interface, the charging port takes over the relay rod of the pluggable earphone. What surprised many mobile phone manufacturers was that the Type C connector interface not only can transmit audio and video, but also has high quality transmission.

So combining the advantages of the Type C interface, coupled with its practicality, aesthetics, and durability, it has been recognized by many mobile phone manufacturers and users. It is almost impossible to see the micro USB interface anymore, and it has been replaced with the type C interface. Of course, no one is perfect, and the product is the same. It cannot be ruled out that some friends dislike the USB type-C interface, because most type C interface phones nowadays have removed the headphone jack, making it difficult to listen to music while charging and requiring a conversion cable. Which interface do you think is more desirable?
