Recently, the use of USB Type-C for smartphone devices has also begun to be used. Generally, these devices are embedded with flagship devices, replacing the microUSB port, allowing for optimal data and power transfer. Intel has even developed USB Type-C technology with the addition of the Thunderbolt feature.

Deficiency

Despite its many advantages, using USB Type-C also has its drawbacks. Apart from the use of cables and devices that support this port, there are still not many sold in the market.

Because the price of accessories for the original USB Type-C is quite expensive, considering its ability to deliver data or electric current with greater power. So when there is a USB Type-C cable that is sold cheaply, you should be suspicious.
