USBType-C is a new connector, which can support many functions, including data transmission, video output and charging. Compared with the traditional USB interface, the Type-C interface has higher transmission speed and smaller size.
Does iPad2020 use Type-C interface?
No, iPad2020 does not use the Type-C interface, but still uses the Lightning interface. This is also Apple's consistent practice. They usually use their own unique interfaces instead of industry standard interfaces.
Why doesn't Apple use the Type-C interface?
Ecosystem control: Apple has always controlled its own ecosystem, and they want users to use their own products as much as possible, not those of other brands. Using its own interface can give Apple better control over the entire ecosystem.
Profit: Apple's Lightning interface is patented technology, and other manufacturers need to pay patent fees to Apple to use it. This is one of the reasons why Apple is unwilling to adopt industry standard interfaces.
Design: Apple has always attached great importance to product design. They hope that the product can be more beautiful. The Lightning interface is smaller than the Type-C interface and can be better integrated into the product.
Although Apple doesn't use the Type-C interface, their Lightning interface also has many advantages, such as smaller size and better design. Of course, what kind of interface is used is not very important to the user. What matters is the overall performance of the product and the user experience.
