One of the most obvious benefits is that it is a multifunctional interface that can perform sound transmission, data transmission, and charging. Combining Saunders and Ismail's introduction, USB-C has the following five advantages.
1. The device is thinner and lighter
This is a direct advantage brought by reducing interfaces. This is reflected in Apple's Macbook. On the 12 inch Macbook from Apple, only this interface and the 3.5mm interface are retained, resulting in a thinner and lighter body than before.
2. Greatly improved sound quality
Compared to the 3.5mm that uses analog audio signals, USB-C uses digital signals. Digital audio allows for more types of sound processing, which means users can enjoy the sound effects of a large concert hall without the need for expensive headphones or earplugs. Additionally, it can eliminate noise such as the roar of airplane engines or trains.
Saunders said, "All of this can only happen in the digital field
3. Convenient
Because the USB-C interface, like Apple's Lightning interface, has no distinction between positive and negative sides, users no longer have to worry about the dilemma of repeatedly changing sides.
4. Fast charging speed
There is a new technology called "USB Power Delivery" that allows devices that comply with the USB 3.1 standard to transfer up to 100 watts of power, which is not only sufficient to meet the requirements of most computers and phones on the market, but also produces faster charging speeds.
5. Fast transmission speed
The data transfer rate of USB-C can reach 10Gbps, which means it can support higher resolution displays, but Ismail points out that this does not mean it should replace HDMI. More importantly, USB-C supports the simultaneous output of images to multiple displays through an adapter, and also has device authentication functionality, providing better security.
