USB-C technology is a prominent feature in computers and cars
USB-C: A new standard
The technology world has adopted a new connector standard called USB Type C (USB-C), which offers many advantages over its predecessor, USB Type A (USB-A). These advantages include faster data transfer speeds, faster charging capability, and smaller physical size.
Unlike the older rectangular USB-A port, the new USB-C connector is oval. The new shape is reversible, so you don’t have to keep flipping the cable to plug it in correctly. This makes it easier to use because there’s no wrong way to plug it in. USB-C ports are also smaller with a curvier profile, so it fits into today’s thinner devices. In fact, several manufacturers are replacing USB-A ports altogether and only include USB-C ports in their new equipment. One example of this is Apple, which uses USB-C ports exclusively on its MacBook products and the new Mac Mini.
Automakers include USB-C technology in new cars
Since car manufacturers such as Nissan and BMW are also on board with this new technology, many new vehicles include USB-C ports in the front and rear passenger seating areas. As a result, you can charge mobile phones, tablets, and even laptops in your car. Some USB-C ports are even capable of fast-charging your devices thanks to the increased power-handling capabilities. The ports now go up to 100 Watts, compared to the 2.5 Watts available in USB-A.
For backward compatibility, you can use bulky adapters to convert USB-A to USB-C and vice-versa, but this is not always practical or ideal. The best method is to connect devices directly, without the use of such adapters.
The technology doesn’t stop there
