Whenever there is a new industry standard, the major manufacturers of the future implementation of the approach is usually qiangmaiqiangmai, look at the past several decades, the examples have be too numerous to enumerate believe that everyone is very clear, however, CD and DVD spent considerable time, really replace the tape and VHS tape.

The least known example of the problem of spending more time on promotion is the connection. When Apple first introduced the Thunderbolt lightning interface, cheering sound new things into the be too numerous to enumerate, but also difficult to avoid, in a very long period of time, not the standard parts based on the relevant third party.

Now the same problem extends to the USB Type-C interface is anticipated, the advent of the first interface still makes industry and consumers feel joy, especially a lot of smart mobile phone manufacturers have introduced the interface, is the hope that everyone can enjoy the new standard as soon as possible benefits. However, the development of USB Type-C interface is now facing a slow situation. At least it is not really popular at the moment.

Wise choice, but extra money to buy accessories

In the first place, it is necessary for us to sort out one thing. The USB Type-C interface is not a standard for data transmission speed, or a standard for increasing output power, but a new type of connection interface standard. A more crucial point is that the USB Type-C interface standard has a "reversible interpolation" feature because the design of the interface is symmetric, which means that there is no need to consider the problem of interpolation or interpolation. Therefore, for users, undoubtedly equivalent to avoid a lot of "blind plug" when inserted into the trouble and trouble, and major manufacturers are doing their best to push down the old standards, in turn to establish new standards.

Because the USB Type-C interface is a new interface standard, so it is still compatible with the data transmission technology of the vast majority of OEM manufacturers are used, both high data transmission rate of existing, or fast charging etc.. The simplest distinction from the old standard is that the USB Type-C interface cannot be backward compatible with many of the older interface standards. This means that many devices using USB Type-C interface are difficult to use with the old hardware.

Last year, when Apple released its first MacBook 12 inch notebook computer, designed by only a USB Type-C interface, which caused the industry shocked, surprised at the main apple again so bold action. Of course, this USB Type-C design is not too much ahead, because the subsequent follow-up Chromebook Pixel design of the interface, and the end of last year, and some have begun to follow up with the intelligent mobile phone, such as Nexus 6 and Nexus 5X, Google's own 2 1 Pixel C also provides a USB Type-C interface.

However, the problem is that these devices are only a small number of devices that support the USB Type-C interface on the market. Basically, there are not many third party vendors to design the perfect compatible parts for them. For example, Nexus 6P conversion head is equipped with a USB Type-C to USB 2, users have been used into the computer, but the Nexus is not equipped with 5X, which leads to the user want to simply from PC to transfer the data to the computer is very troubled, they need to find online adapter and turn head, but the prices are not cheap. Previously, Apple sold MacBook, as well as Google shelves Pixel C is also true, consumers need to spend their own money to buy related accessories, optional third party accessories really not very much.

The question of normative standards must also be taken into consideration

In many eyes, the support of third party accessories is not enough, but since last year's propaganda, the interesting episode of USB Type-C interface has to pay attention. In fact, the choice of USB Type-C third party data lines is not necessarily expensive, but also requires high compatibility. Google engineers found that they bought third party USB Type-C data lines to connect laptops, which nearly burned the device because the USB Type-C data line did not meet the new standards.

Then, the Google engineers have pity on services for users, USB Type-C data line sales check on selfless Mayer and above, comments will tell consumers to buy, which some wire comply with the new standards, to ensure the safety of equipment. Can only say that equipment manufacturers stressed that users only use the official provided USB Type-C accessories is not wrong, after all, related to equipment, and even the problem of life and property.

Not all vendors do their best to promote it

This year, MWC 2016 World Mobile Communications Conference on the USB Type-C interface may be another blow. A new release of its flagship Samsung Galaxy, both S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge, which side is more advanced, such as upgrading a more powerful snapdragon 820 processor, had joined the waterproof performance of the user favorite, and restore the micro SD card support. Most admired is that Samsung's successful upgrade, camera dual core like head sensor, camera quality is more amazing, but also joined the larger capacity of the battery, extended life time.

However, as the world's best-selling Android flagship smartphone, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are not equipped with the latest USB Type-C interface. This Samsung spokesman explained that the move is in order to be compatible with the existing intelligent mobile phone more peripherals, such as compatible Gear VR virtual reality helmet home, and micro USB and USB Type-C charging time difference.

Obviously, Samsung has the same idea of many manufacturers in the number, they do not want to solve more problems arising after the sale.

Future

Some OEM mobile phone manufacturers are still trying to promote USB Type-C connection
