Will Apple support USB Type-C? Will the mobile phone port be unified? Part 2

Currently, the maximum throughput defined by the USB-C interface is 5A. In addition to meeting fast charging needs, USB-C also integrates data and audio and video interface functions. At the same time, USB-C has a wide range of applications, which can be applied to smart phones, PC/tablets, TVs, wearables, cars, and homes. It is reported that all places using USB interfaces can be replaced by Type-C. USB-C has won the support of the industry giants. USB giants, standards development, interface chips, and consumer terminal giants are advancing the popularity of USB-C. Now USB-C has formed a certain industrial ecology, and has gradually unified electronic device interfaces. The trend is that smartphones are expected to be the first to be unified.

The USB Type-C interface can handle up to 3A with passive cable, which means up to 15W, but if you need higher power, you must deploy a fast charging protocol, which can be USBPD or fast charging such as QC. protocol. The primary goal of these fast charge protocols is to achieve higher power transmission.

Therefore, we can also see how important it is to have a very high-quality type c cable. In fact, the quality of third-party mobile phone accessories on the market today is uneven, making it difficult to distinguish, and the price of official brand accessories is too high, relatively speaking, the third-party brand is more cost-effective, which makes consumers fall into the dilemma. I suggest that you choose some trusted third-party brands, such as Blitzwolf, etc. The type c cable is safe and reliable, supports fast charging protocols, and most importantly, its material makes it very durable.

A device with a USB-C port and supporting the USB PD standard can support up to 20V/5A for 100W efficiency, but based on cost considerations, most charging devices currently only support power below 60W.

The fast charging standard is not uniform, and the incompatibility of various standards is the pain point in the field of fast charging. No one wants to carry a variety of cables while carrying a fast charge plug, just to charge different brands of electronic products. The USB organization introduced the USBPD to solve this problem. According to industry insiders, USB PD is a very interactive protocol. USBPD3.0 supports PPS charging. This will make the different fast charging standards in the market unified in the scope of USB PD, as long as the USBPD 3.0 compatible charger and terminal are compatible.

It can be seen that USB-C and USBPD push the revolution of mobile phone port in combination.

Recently, from the news of analog IC suppliers, Apple may abandon the Lightning port in 2019, Apple is redesigning the charger and the next-generation related interface, iPhone and iPad will support USB Type-C (referred to as: USB-C).

It is reported that LeTV is the first manufacturer equipped with Type-C interface on mobile phones, and then Android mobile phone manufacturers have joined the Type-C camp, LG, Xiaomi, Samsung, Huawei, Meizu and so on. In the industry's view, the port of USBPD and Type-C integration is expected to bring a revolution in mobile phone ports, and the fast charging standard is expected to be unified. Apple, which has always been "maverick", can confirm this point if it chooses the USB Type-C port solution.

For the mobile phone interface, Apple has been making changes. The first generation of the iPhone used a 30-pin interface, and the iPhone 5 became a node that turned to Lightning. The 30-pin usage cycle is 6 years. If the new iPhone of this year still uses the Lightning interface, the Lightning interface has been used in Apple's products for 7 years. From a time perspective, it is possible for Apple to usher in a USB-C change in 2019.

At the same time, from a standard point of view, the European Parliament will adopt a universal charger draft in early June this year, requiring radio equipment sold in the EU to impose a uniform standard charger. In the next 3 years, the mobile device charging interface will be unified into the USB type c cable specification, which has been supported by 7 major manufacturers including Apple and Samsung.

A major factor driving the USB-C unified mobile phone port is the fast charging demand.
USB Type-C is an electronic device interface standard that is an upgraded version of USB Type-A/B. The highlights are a slimmer design, faster transfer speeds (up to 10Gbps), greater power transfer (up to 100W), and support for double-sided insertion. Although USB Type-C is based on USB 3.1 design, this does not mean that devices using USB-C ports must support the USB 3.1 standard.
