The new MacBook recently released by Apple has received a great deal of attention. Among them, the design with only one USB Type C interface built in has sparked much discussion. Critics and analysts generally believe that a single interface design will be the design trend for portable laptops in the future, and USB Type C is the key technology. In fact, USB Type C is an interface form of USB 3.1. So, what positive influence does the new connection standard have on the device experience?

What is USB 3.1?

As a next-generation transmission standard, USB 3.1 is called "SuperSpeed+" and has a transmission rate of 10Gbps. It has Type-A (Standard-A), Type-B (Micro-B), and Type-C connection interfaces. 20V/5A power supply standard, transmission and power supply performance is more powerful.

Let the phone charge faster

Since the power supply standard is increased to 20V/5A, 100W power, USB 3.1 can greatly increase the charging speed of the device, and can also supply power for higher power devices such as laptops, projectors, and even televisions. This is why Apple's new MacBook only You need a built-in USB Type C to realize the power supply and transmission requirements.

Higher data transmission speed

Since USB 3.1 supports transmission rates of up to 10 Gbps, it will greatly increase the transmission speed of mobile phones, which is very favorable for the development of mobile phones. For example, more and more mobile phones begin to support 4K video capture. Video files are larger and faster data transmission speeds are necessary.

Support display output

At present, HDMI is an interface standard commonly used in televisions and display products. Although it has a mini version, there is no specific built-in interface for mobile phones, because it will lead to increased costs and increase in size. Because USB 3.1 supports display output, it is more suitable as the output interface of mobile devices, especially the reversible Type-C.

Versatility

Obviously, a universal universal interface is needed for small devices such as mobile phones and tablets, which can greatly improve the connectivity of devices. From the current point of view, Type-C in USB 3.1 is most likely to become the future connection standard, providing an integrated connection scheme such as data transmission, peripheral connection, and display output.
