Apple's event normally have an aura around them like no other. The 
halo effect of 'Apple's Spring Forward' event can be still felt across 
the tech industry especially in the wake of some of the radical 
announcements related to the new MacBook. There a degree of hue-and-cry 
over the fact that new MacBook has dumped a traditional trackpad for a 
new technology that Apple calls the 'force touch' trackpad. The bigger 
issue is the elimination of traditional ports like the USB, HDMI, 
Mini-Display and the standard MagSafe connector that Macs are known for.<br />
<br />
Apple has replaced all these ports with a singular port called 
the USB-C connector, which can handle all the aforementioned connections
 through a single port, with the obvious help of adaptors. <br />
But if you are wondering what this port is exactly, then you have headed to the right place. <br />
<h2>
What is USB-Type C? </h2>
<br />You
 have probably heard of USB -- or Universal Serial Bus, which is a 
widely used standard since the mid 90's. It is the port where you plug 
in your pen drives, your external hard drives, and much more. Now, Apple
 has removed the standard USB port from the new MacBook, to the horror 
of many. In fact, ports like HDMI also don't make an appearance.<br />
<br />
So
 you'll be wondering how the MacBook will handle all these traditional 
legacy connections. Apple wants its users to depend on wireless 
solutions like AirDrop, Bluetooth, AirPlay, and Wi-Fi.<br />
<br />
However, these 
solutions don't work for the average user and things like AirPlay and 
AirDrop are not even cross-platform, so you need to be locked in to 
Apple's galaxy of products.<br />
<br />
However, with USB-C Apple manages to offer the best of both worlds albeit through costly and ungainly adaptors.<br />
<br />
USB-C
 is a new standard that has been developed by USB corporation in 
conjunction with Intel, Apple, Google and Microsoft. It is a reversible 
plug, much like Apple's Lighting connector for the iPhone and iPad.<br />

This
 means you don't need to figure out which is the right way to plug in 
the connector as whatever side you plug-in, the connector just works. 
Lot of people damage their USB ports and this will be the port that puts
 an end to that.<br />
<br />
Importantly, it is also the same size of the 
microUSB connector at 8.4mm by 2.4mm, which makes it ideal for slim 
devices like the new MacBook. <br /><br />
<h2>
Why will it change your world?</h2>
<br />USB-Type
 C is the 'do-it-all' connector. It is backwards compatible with older 
USB standards like USB 2.0, and USB 3.0 and also supports USB 3.1.  In 
addition, it can handle significant power requirements. It can handle up
 to 20 watts, which is more than enough to power a notebook and multiple
 mobile devices. That's why, Apple has even ditched the magsafe 
connector and decided to power the new MacBook via the USB-C connection.<br />
<br />
It also handles data very well. Data transfer speeds can run up 
to 10Gbps , which is almost double of what USB-B connections can handle.
 This is the reason why the USB-C connector can also drive high 
resolution displays without any latency issues.<br />
<br />
The bigger deal 
is that this standard will not be restricted to Apple's products like 
the lightning connector found on iOS devices. As it has been built in 
collaboration with Intel, Microsoft and Google, USB-C will likely be 
found in many products, including notebooks in 2015. The MacBook is the 
just the first notebook to whole heartedly adopt it. In fact, already 
the Nokia N1 tablet, which was announced at the Slush Conference in 
Helsinki uses it.<br />
<br />
SanDisk and LaCie already have announced 
external drives utilising the standard. USB-C, going forward it will be 
the standard that will perhaps displace the traditional USB port. That's
 the direction all big tech majors are heading. <br />
<br />
<h2>
The one port to rule them all </h2>
<br />As
 of now, Apple has created a few adaptors for the USB-C port. There's 
one that's a USB-C to a standard USB port and thereâ€™s one for USB-C to
 HDMI and VGA connections. There are more connectors that third parties 
are developing, however, going forward the big deal will be the fact 
that a single cable could be used for multiple uses --- be it beaming 
video, data transfer or power. USB-C may not be as fast as Intel's 
Thunderbolt standard, but it will likely garner the ubiquity of USB 
because it has so many uses. </div>
