In this article we are going to talk about the drawbacks of USB Type C today . With this we do not mean that USB Type C is bad, but we want to show the inconveniences that currently have not being sufficiently expanded.
It is increasingly evident that technology evolves faster than the user is able to consume, so there are always periods of adaptation or periods of change to move from one technology to another . It is during this period when some inconveniences arise to take into account, for example when buying a new smartphone.
We know that USB Type C has the peculiarity that it can be connected to the phone in any position, that is , it is reversible . This makes it much easier to plug the charger into the device. Those who have tried to put the phone to charge with the light off know what I'm talking about.
The main drawback is that it is something so recent that in case of forgetting the cable, it can be difficult to find a USB Type C cable to charge your device within your family environment and friends. Surely the people around you have not yet updated this type of USB and can not lend it to you. This is a temporary inconvenience and as soon as its use is extended there will be no problem.
Being a relatively new technology, the cables compatible with USB Type C are more expensive than what we have been using so far.
Another benefit of USB Type C is the compatibility with USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 , with which it greatly increases data transfer. For some time, the new smartphones include this type of USB Type C, but it can be the case that the smartphone only supports USB 2.0, so you will not be taking advantage of the maximum performance.
The USB Type C is the future and little by little we will have to adapt to this new standard, but as always, transitions usually have some drawback.
