While Apple is still trying to focus the attention of consumers on the new Macbook Pro Multi-TouchBar exceptionally gorgeous scalability when the time, and only four USB-C interface is inadvertently became the focus.

Macbook Pro USB-C interface with both positive and negative random insert, faster transmission and other features, and Thunderbolt 3 performance than the traditional USB-A interface to a lot stronger, but the problem lies in addition to a 3.5mm headphone jack , The new MacbookPro all external devices through the USB-C interface to connect, which resulted in a large number of traditional USB devices inconvenience, so Macbook Pro compatibility in this area planted a big somersault.

As a result, there are rumors that Apple will be transformed into a consumables maker. Indeed, overly radical integration of the new Macbook Pro interface for the USB-C, with Apple's official high price of various types of switching cable, so questioned is not unreasonable.

As if to hear the consumer for the new Macbook Pro various Tucao, this time, Apple uncharacteristically made a quick reflection. In the near future, Apple announced the official cut all the price of USB-C converter, some third-party USB-C accessories also will adjust the price.

From our consolidation of Apple's official USB-C adapter price changes in the table, the Apple Apple Store sales of all USB-C adapter has a more substantial price adjustment, which fell the largest Thunderbolt3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter, A decline of up to 160 yuan.

In addition to Apple's official USB-C adapter, the Apple Store to sell some third-party USB-C peripheral is also forced by Apple's pressure over the same period of price adjustments, including LGUltraFine 5K monitor prices fell to 7638 yuan, LG UltraFine 4K monitor price adjustment to 4188 yuan, even flash di launched USB-C interface SD card reader, from 398 yuan price to 288 yuan.

It is worth noting that Apple's accessories price promotions, the time limit from now until December 31, 2016 only, can be understood as less than two months time, Apple left a new Macbook Pro user transition period . To discount the price of consumers also a parity switch cable, so that the new MBP level in the productivity tool can stand.

You know, for the new Macbook Pro users, especially Apple's most valued professional users, rely on the old interface and equipment to complete the professional work, is essential. Such as common scanners, projectors and other equipment, urging third-party manufacturers to switch to USB-C interface, is definitely not overnight to complete. As for the more general base card users, an external mouse and keyboard, or even connect iPhone such a simple action, must also be completed by the adapter cable. Even so, the new Macbook Pro did not even come with a USB-C to USB-A adapter cable, almost forced consumers to buy conditions, a small price promotions look more like Apple's a Gifts.

There are consumers will say that since Apple's official website of the accessories price is so high, then buy a third-party USB-C cable is not OK? Since the Andrews mobile phone has a significant use of the USB-C interface, then use the phone with the charging head can charge for the new Macbook Pro it?

Here it is necessary to simply popular science about USB-C interface specifications. USB-C interface module with a smaller size, so that the characteristics of thinner equipment, while ignoring the flexibility of positive and negative insert, from a practical point of view, is more responsible for the modern society for the needs of electronic devices.

It is worth noting that, as of now, USB-C supports a total of three protocols, namely, the latest Thunderbolt3; New Macbook last year on the use of USB 3.1 / 3.0 and most Andrews mobile phone used by USB2.0 standard. Among them, the devices that support advanced protocols are backward compatible, but the low-level protocol can not apply the functions of advanced protocols.

Specific differences, the latest Thunderbolt 3 protocol USB-C interface, with 40GB of transmission bandwidth, support for HDMI 2.0 display and 100 watts of power supply. The lowest-level USB 2.0 version of the USB-C standard, only supports 480Mbps bandwidth and up to 2.4A of current.

Looks exactly the same USB-C data cable, the complexity of the standard can be seen. However, this is not finished, ranked in the middle part of the USB 3.1 standard, actually also distinguish between two generations of agreement. New Macbook's USB-C interface uses a generation of USB 3.1 protocol, the bandwidth of 5Gbps, power supply up to 15 watts. While the second generation of USB3.1 protocol will increase the bandwidth to 10Gbps, while the power supply line is also raised to 100 watts, and supports DisplayPort, MHL, HDMI and Thunderbolt video signals, and analog audio signals.

Said so much, to the effect can be summarized as, seemingly identical USB-C adapter, data cable, is likely to have a completely different performance, and even with the new version of Macbook Pro can not match. For example, if you buy a USB 2.0 specification USB-C data cable, then use it to charge the Apple computer is completely impossible, because its current support only to 2.4A; another example of last year's New Macbook standard USB- C data line only supports USB 3.1 standard, then the new Macbook Pro that high 40Gbps data bandwidth through this line is completely out of the show.

This is why Apple dared to its official sales of USB-C switching equipment pricing so high key. Through the Apple Store to buy USB-C adapter and wire, in any case can guarantee the support of the latest agreement, and will not let the performance of the new Macbook Pro can not play, which is Taobao, Amazon and other third-party channels do not have the advantage. If you want to buy Apple's official price is far below the price of a USB-C data cable or adapter, then remember to ask the standard Taobao sellers purchased wire, or seem to save money, but in reality the waste is inevitable .

When the Macbook Pro is Apple's next-generation productivity tool, USB-C interface is like a time bomb to hinder the production of productivity. Too expensive cable prices, too cumbersome types of agreements, coupled with the acceptance of new users for the new interface poor, so that the new Macbook Pro productivity tool positioning gradually blurred. If you do not effectively solve the interface problem, the popularity of the new MacbookPro does have a long way to go. In fact, presented the adapter is a good way, but Apple is willing to lower its noble head it?
