A year ago, when Apple chose to give up the USB interface, people thought it was just a fantasy. However, now, the fact lies before us, and creativity is given more motivating meaning. Our technology is embarking on a new journey.

USB flash drives are already a very common storage tool for most people, and they have always been an inconspicuous but indispensable presence in every corner of the office.

The USB drive, a supported format, was invented in 1996 and has since become a very popular data transmission method, achieving efficient and accurate text data transmission between computers and other devices, bringing great convenience to people's lives.

But with the advancement of technology, the USB interface has gradually become outdated and not very suitable for new manufacturing needs. Therefore, many new laptops have now chosen the latest USB C technology, such as Apple's ultra-thin MacBook series products completely abandoning the standard USB interface and choosing USB C.

In fact, a year ago, when Apple chose to give up the USB interface, people thought it was just a fantasy. However, now, the fact is before us, and creation has been given more motivating significance. Our technology is embarking on a new journey.

With the development of wireless technology, cloud storage has become increasingly convenient and secure, and USB drives seem to be losing market competitiveness.

Now, if you want to transfer files, you can easily do it through the network or Bluetooth. Apple's AirDrop demonstrates how convenient wireless transmission between devices is. Compared with physical hard disks, online services such as Google Drive and We Transfer also make content sharing between Chingusai easier.

So, will the future of USB drives gradually fade out of our lives like the floppy disks we used to have?

In fact, currently, the possibility of this happening is not very high, because many people are still accustomed to inserting through the USB interface, which makes them feel secure.

Nowadays, the competition among major manufacturers in the USB drive market is still very fierce, but as more laptop manufacturers follow Apple's footsteps and choose USB C technology, such competition may not last long.

In fact, the biggest advantage of the USB C interface is that it reduces space even more and can charge the device while transferring data. Therefore, many portable computer manufacturers have chosen to abandon traditional USB interfaces because they want to make their computers thinner and lighter, thereby creating greater market competitiveness.

In fact, when Apple decided to give up the DVD driver for its Mac series, many fans were initially disappointed. But with the completion of the online movie streaming revolution, people now rarely think of their former DVD players.

Will the same thing happen to USB?
