In today's era, chargers are not only life-saving straws for mobile phones, but also life-saving straws for people. When you go out, battery anxiety will accompany us anytime and anywhere, and borrowing a charger also happens from time to time.
When we borrow a charger from others, others will always ask you what you say? Can it be used? The uncle often sees many people saying that he is the charging port of Xiaomi , the charging port of Huawei , etc. The uncle really doesn’t know what to say. Type-C has been released for so long, but many users don’t deserve a name?
Don’t you know that Xiaomi and Huawei have long been “shaking hands and making peace” about the charging interface?
Type-c is a standard that hopes to unify all electronic product charging interfaces, and will even include the Apple Lightning charging port that has always been unique.
With the rapid development of electronic products in the past 20 years, the small charging interface has been forced to undergo upgrades again and again.
Chaos Round Head Era
Friends who have seen this kind of charging head should have started their own families and careers now. This kind of thing has basically entered the museum. This round-head charging cable only has the charging function but does not have data transmission capabilities. If you want to copy data into your mobile phone, you need to find another USB cable. Of course, there is also this magical tool. I think many friends have never seen this high-tech product.
At that time, the phone was not as small as it is now. The memory memory of the phone was pitiful. If you want the phone to store more things, a memory card was necessary. Remove the back case of the phone and remove the battery. The phone card on the left and the memory card on the right.
At this time, the charging cable not only does not have data transmission function, but the specifications adapted to each brand are also different. If a family’s mobile phone brand is different, it must be equipped with several. Most importantly, this charging head has a low service life, and the interface is prone to loosening and breaking, so it is inevitable that it will be eliminated.
Various USB rampant
Later people found that in addition to making phone calls, transferring files is a particularly important requirement for mobile phones, especially when buying new phones that year, the rogue behavior of installing family buckets caused many friends to have ROOT needs, so the charging cable of the mobile phone was forced to add data transmission function.
However, different requirements for different types of products for transmission speed, portability, cost, etc. have led to the emergence of multiple different interfaces.
However, with the development of technology, USB interface is gradually unified, from the ancient long and wide interface to the Mini USB interface, and then to the Micro USB interface.
only requires two positive and negative contacts to charge, but if you need to transmit data, then two contacts are definitely not enough. The standard USB link cable uses a 4-core cable: 5V power cable (Vbus), differential data cable negative (D-), differential data cable positive (D+) and ground cable (GND). The complex structure also leads to a rapid increase in the cost of power cables. For a long time, the coexistence of data cables of various types of interfaces has caused considerable troubles to everyone's daily use.
is destined to be the king of TYPE-C
In fact, before TYPE-C came out, Micro USB was basically about to unify the electronic products industry. But before Apple's Lighting charging port, Micro USB, as synonymous with Android, always felt inferior.
Apple mobile phones can be plugged in without having to worry about the front and back, while Android (Micro USB) has to fumble in the dark night to distinguish the front and back before charging.
This is also a big reason why Apple users are arrogant when facing the majority of Android users, but waiting for death is not the style of a domestic brand, but Apple will definitely not open up Lighting technology. So, the Savior TYPE-C made a grand debut. Compared with traditional USB, TYPE-C has three advantages:
1. No direction, just like Apple's Lightingy interface, you can plug the charging cable into your phone in one go. This advantage may not be highlighted during the day. Only when the card is missing at night can you feel the convenience brought by the non-distinctive interface.
2, Type-c interface is faster than USB interface.According to the information released by the USB3.0 technical team, the next generation type-c connector transmission speed can reach 10Gbps.
3 and type-c interface have the characteristics of strong power supply capabilities. According to existing messages, the type-c interface with USB3.1 specification can perform 100W of power output, not only that, it can also provide bidirectional charging, that is, while charging itself, it provides power to external devices. It is precisely because of this feature that many laptops have begun to support type-c interface charging, which is undoubtedly a great blessing for business people.
Is it possible for TYPE-C to replace Lighting in the future?
It can be said that with the increasing maturity of Type-c, the charging and data transmission of Android phones are not inferior to Apple at all, so Apple seems a bit out of place. This is not just the uncle who thinks that, but Apple has been fined in European countries for not supporting the TYPE-C charging interface. The reason is that the inconsistent charging interface of electronic products leads to people need to buy more data cables, which leads to the flood of electronic waste.
Many people believe that the reason why Apple has been reluctant to admit the goodness of TYPE-C is largely due to MFi certification. This certification is a certification for the quality of its qualified spare parts manufacturers. This certification largely ensures the quality of its spare parts products. However, for suppliers, it costs a lot to get this certification, and Apple makes a lot of profit every year. If you switch to TYPE-C, then the lost income in this area is quite large.
