In 2021, the European Commission proposed the use of USB-C as a universal charger. [92] [93] [94] On 4 October 2022, the European Parliament voted in favor of the new law, Radio Equipment Directive 2021/0291, with 602 votes in favor, 13 against and 8 absentions. [95] The regulation requires that all new mobile phones, tablets, cameras, headphones, headsets, handheld video game consoles, portable speakers, e-readers, keyboards, mice, portable navigation systems, and earbuds sold in the European Union and supporting wired charging, would have to be equipped with a USB-C port and charge with a standard USB-C to USB-C cable by the end of 2024. Additionally, if these devices support fast charging, they must support USB Power Delivery. These regulations will extend to laptops by spring 2026. [96] To comply with these regulations, Apple Inc. replaced its proprietary Lightning connector with USB-C beginning with the iPhone 15 and AirPods Pro second generation, released in 2023. [97] See also [ edit ] USB-C includes support for DisplayPort Alt Mode, which allows USB-C cables to transmit video signals directly between your computer and display via the DisplayPort standard. That means your ultra-thin laptop doesn't need a chunky DisplayPort port, manufacturers can opt for a small USB-C port instead. If your Windows 10 phone is already running the latest version of Windows 10 Mobile, try to connect your device to a Windows 10 PC instead.OS X Yosemite (macOS version 10.10.2), starting with the MacBook Retina early 2015, supports USB 3.1, USB-C, Alternate Modes, and Power Delivery. [67] Put simply, the more advanced versions of the USB protocol allow for faster data and power transfer. Most of us will never care enough to tell the difference between USB 3.0 and USB 3.2, but it's nice to know how it all works. Active cables and adapters contain powered electronics to allow for longer cables or to perform protocol conversion. The adapters for video Alternate Modes may allow conversion from native video stream to other video interface standards (e.g., DisplayPort, HDMI, VGA or DVI).

Fortunately, there are USB cables that are made of a sturdier material that is tangle-free. Such cables with a tangle-free material do not intertwine. Hence, they are safer from wire breakage. What is USB-if certification? If you have peripheral devices such as keyboards, mouses, and flash drives, which do not have a USB-C port like your computer, you need a USB to USB-C adapter. The USB to USB-C adapters have pins and drivers that facilitate smooth communication between the two devices. Charging and syncing a device The USB device might have limited functionality when connected to this port. Plug the USB device into a different USB port on your PC.USB-C is widely adopted. Android smartphones, Apple MacBooks, Nintendo Switch consoles, e-readers and wireless earphones are a few examples of products that universally use USB-C connections. While the Apple iPhone doesn’t currently use a USB-C connection – opting for its patented Lightning cable – the cable provided with the iPhone does connect to USB-C ports. Given the upcoming European regulations, even Apple iPhones should soon be moving over to USB-C. Fancy upgrading to a wireless phone charger? We’ve ranked our favourites. Your PC might not provide enough power to the USB device. Please connect your device to external power, or try using a different PC. Make sure your PC, the external display, and the cable all support DisplayPort or MHL alternate modes.
