The video quality and the charging efficiency of the portable equipment with consumers quickly upgrade the transmission interface standard, increasingly fierce competition, in 2013 2014 announcement, for the standard specifications of the USB Type C, after 1 years of development, in the 2016 application of breakthrough.

Apple in the spring of 2015 will be published, let 12 inch MacBook abandon the old about two sets of standard USB port and MagSafe magnetic power supply connection interface, and can be changed to emphasize the connection of USB Type C replaced Type USB, but at that time due to the C specification announcement just before long, peripheral products the price is still high, and there is enough charging efficiency of the product is not much, so many Apple caused the market rebound, but at the end of October 2016 published completely indifferent, MacBook Pro to cancel USB Type same A, adding 4 USB group Type C, so that the new machine is thinner.

After nearly 2 years of development, the market price of USB TypeC and peripheral support improved a lot, but for many years cultivating habits are changing, the market is still complaining, but in the evolution of technology, user habits will be changed sooner or later, 12 inch MacBook users in 2015, we were forced to change, now turn to MacBook Pro.

2017 will be the year when USB Type-C moves towards popularity

From the market point of view, the current USB Type C growth has obvious, at present, in South Korea, Japan and Taiwan Android manufacturers, have introduced the interface of the mobile phone, CPU leading Intel because the overall market is still dominated by traditional USB, import pace slower, unlike the Apple in a full replacement, but overall, USB Type C has become a trend, is only a matter of time, the mainstream of the market in 2017, the mobile phone market will begin to enter the replacement period, the reference design of the current Intel has launched a laptop with the motherboard USB Type C, the next still adopts computer peripheral equipment of USB Type A, will also be gradually in these two years. Elimination.

To observe the users of MacBook can be seen on rebound, more concentrated in the purchase cost of expenditure during the transition period of the inconvenience and peripheral equipment, but if the smooth conversion of the past, the convenience brought by USB TypeC is high, the first use of USB TypeC 12 inch MacBook, when the initial design is based on the Internet for a long time, easy to carry. Therefore, the design of MacBook Apple is mainly the wireless adapter USB port, need not much chance.

As for the MacBook Pro Apple, designed 4 USB TypeC port (13 inches to 2), for professional users enough, the biggest problem comes from the extra parts costs, the main transmission port design of a new generation of Thunderbolt MacBook Pro 3, USB TypeC, and ports on the generation of MacBook Pro it includes Thunderbolt 2, USB TypeA, HDMI, if you want to use the previous generation of peripheral equipment, the adapter can actually only need to buy USB TypeC, wire are not replaced, so this part of the expenditure is actually quite limited.

Peripheral equipment costs is limited, but the USB Type C benefits is far higher than the traditional USB Type A, USB Type C 4 features including positive and negative plug, video transmission, data transmission and charging, the two sides can be inserted, unlike the traditional USB port to the wrong direction, causing damage to the interface. At the same time, USB TypeC support multiple audio bandwidth support specifications, USB 2, USB 3.1 Gen 1 (SuperSpeed USB / s 5Gbit) and USB (SuperSpeed USB 3.1 Gen 2 10Gbit / s) data rate, can make the body volume more compact, the bidirectional current output, TypeA has more advantages than USB.

Overall, Type disadvantages of USB C are still in the vicinity of the lack of support, because USB Type A is currently on the market successfully, the vast majority of electronic products are related to design, can not change the overall replacement in a short period of time, while the old interface design, let USB Type C advantage still cannot be all but from the manufacturer's product highlights, point of view, USB TypeA already lowered the entry threshold, the product profits increasingly thin, in contrast, the new technology products more lucrative, and now the technology has entered the mature stage, it will undoubtedly become the powerful energy manufacturers layout, so in 2017 have the opportunity to become very popular TypeC towards USB a year.
