1. Slim
Thinner body needs thinner port, that is why Typ-C USB interface  was turned out.USB-C port length is 0.83 cm and wide is 0.26 cm. Vintage USB port with 1.4 cm long, 0.65 cm wide has been obsolete. Meanwhile,the end of the USB-C data lines will be one-third of a standard USB-A type cable plug size.

The maximum output voltage is 20 volts,which can speed up the charging time.While the max transmission rate of USB-A type is 5Gbps, the output voltage is 5 volts.


4. rounder
The new MacBook’s Typ-C-type ports can transfer data, it can also be charged and as a video output port link to an external display device. The only question is how to meet the requirements simultaneously.
