Comparison of advantages and disadvantages of Apple data cable and Type-C data cable

Apple's mobile phone has been out of the 8th generation, but its Apple data line has still been using the lightning interface, and the data cable used in domestic Android phones is the micro USB data cable and Type-C data cable as the charging cable, and Type-C The data line is a newly developed product in recent years. Like the Apple data line, it can be positively opposed to the plug. Let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of the comparison between them.

Let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of the Apple data cable:

Apple Data Line

Advantages: 1. Lightning interface Apple data line has basic charging and data transmission

      2, the largest over 2A current.

      3, the transmission rate is about 25MB/S-35MB/S.

      4, regardless of positive and negative double-sided plug.

      5, support video, audio and other digital signal output.

Disadvantages: 1. Slow charging and data transmission

      2, easy to break, it is easy to bad.

      3, the existing 30pin interface accessories and Android series of mobile phones

      4, does not support the audio output of analog signals.

      5, the price is expensive, and chip encryption protection, third-party manufacturers also need to authorize MFI and other technical certification before allowing production.

Next we take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of the Type-C data line:

Type-C data cable

Advantages: 1, ultra-thin interface, type-c interface length 0.83cm, width 0.26cm.

      2, regardless of positive and negative double-sided plug, this point with the apple data line lightning interface the same.

      3, fast charging, in theory has a faster transmission speed (up to 10Gbps) and more powerful power transmission (up to 100W) 4, bidirectional transmission, type-c data line power transmission is bidirectional, not only can use notebook for mobile Charging the device, you can also use other devices and mobile power to charge the notebook.

      4, can be backward compatible, type-c data cable can also be compatible with the old USB standard, but users need to buy additional adapters to complete compatibility. This is more practical than Apple's lightning data line. That is to say type- c The data line is more scalable.

      5, the price is cheap, free of technical authorization and other costs.

Disadvantages: 1. The biggest disadvantage of the Type-C interface: the cost is too high, and the power output of the 100W is subject to the decision of wire rods, so the current supporting products are still not enough and are still in the promotion period.

      2. Security: As the Type-C data line is flexible, open, and other features, once it is subjected to hacking, the scope of impact will be very wide, especially in the face of BadUSB vulnerability, it is easy to infect the malicious code to other electronic products, and The possibility of repair is relatively small. However, since the USB3.1 interface has become a standard must comply with, which is all manufacturers can not avoid, it is recommended that users do not use random computers or download unwittingly.
