USB type C vs. Lightning and Micro-USB: Apple's future?

There is no doubt that the new MacBook was one of the strengths of this latest presentation of Apple, and around what it offers (and not) have emerged not a few debates, and certainly will emerge more.


The only port that presents the MacBook represents a very controversial decision by Apple: Leaving aside the question of the limitations it poses for users, that solitary port implies a major push in favor of the USB type C, and leaves in A delicate position to technologies such as Thunderbolt and MagSafe. Even the Lightning.

As we are told in 9to5Mac, the USB type C presents some features that make it really interesting. For example:

In its current form, it can transmit up to 100 watts. That's more than the current MagSafe support, including the 85-watt MacBook Pro 15-inch plus USB type C is reversible: Can you someday upload your Mac using your iPad? It doesn't seem like a crazy idea anymore.

The transfer rate of the USB type C is of no less than 10 GB per second, the same as that of the Thunderbolt 1 and faster than that of most SSD. All Thunderbolt configurations except the latest 2.0 are suddenly unnecessary.

The new USB type C reversible will offer full DisplayPort functionality. According to the Association of Electronic Video Standards (VESA), the first devices with USB-C will use the current DisplayPort 1.2 A, which supports 5 ' 4 GB/s per track and resolutions up to 4 K (4096 x 2160) with a rate of images per second of 60 Hz. And this means we'll soon see USB type C that will support the recently announced DisplayPort 1.3 standard, which means up to 8.1 GB/s per track and 5 K screens.

It supports the countless devices with USB, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. Reversible, easy to insert and almost as small as a Lightning connector.
