Over these past few years, you may have noticed the USB-C connector coming more into play in society, after its introduction in 2014, the popularity of the connector came quickly. It has already become the connector of choice for products like keyboards, external hard drives, digital cameras, bluetooth speakers, headphones, TV's, and much more. If you are an Apple product user, you might have noticed the company started to convert to this connector for their iPad Pro back in 2018, and now is doing same with their latest iPhone 15 products. But what exactly is a USB-C, and what are the benefits of this connector compared to others?

The USB-C is a small and versatile connector for multiple devices and products, it transfers data at very high speeds, transmits video signals, and delivers power to charge devices' batteries all in one single cable. It stands for Universal Serial Bus, and the C represents the type of USB it is. The main reason this connector is beneficial and popular is because of all of its functions it does in one. About a decade ago, many computer users were struggling with way too many different connectors, you had your USB for transferring data, power cables to do the charging and the HDMI and more for video signals. Now that the USB-C is here, there's no need for the use of multiple cables and adapters, and no need to worry about if you have the correct connector because sooner than later, you always will.
