One of the most obvious benefits is that it is a multi-functional interface for voice transmission, data transmission and charging. Combined with Saunders and Ismail, usb-c has the following five advantages.
1. The equipment is lighter
This is a direct advantage of reducing interfaces. This is reflected in Apple's MacBook. On Apple's 12 inch MacBook, only this interface and 3.5mm interface are reserved, so the thickness of the body is lighter than before.
2. Greatly improved sound quality
Compared with 3.5mm using analog audio signal, usb-c uses digital signal. Digital audio can allow more types of sound processing, which means that users can enjoy the sound effect of the big music hall without expensive headphones or earplugs. In addition, noise like the rumble of aircraft engines or trains can be eliminated.
"All of this can only happen in the digital world," Saunders said
3. convenience
Because the usb-c interface is the same as Apple's lightning interface, there is no difference between the front and the back, so users don't have to worry about repeatedly changing faces.
4. Fast charging speed
There is a new technology called "USB power delivery", which can make the transmission power between devices complying with USB 3.1 standard up to 100 watts, which is not only enough to meet the requirements of most computers and mobile phones on the market, but also can produce faster charging speed.
5. Fast transmission speed
Usb-c's data transfer rate can reach 10Gbps, which means it can support higher resolution displays, but Ismail points out that this does not mean replacing HDMI. What's more, usb-c can support to output the picture to multiple displays at the same time through the adapter, and also has the function of device authentication, providing better security.
