Announced in November 2014, Nokia’s first Android tablet, the N1, is one of the first consumer devices to take advantage of the reversible USB Type-C. However, it’s using the older and less powerful USB 2.0 and not the new USB 3.1 standard.

This monster of a phone made an appearance earlier this month. It’s main feature is the use of dual batteries (one sealed + one removable) which sums up to a capacity of 6000mAh. But it’s other notable feature is its implementation of the USB 3.1 Type-C.

Apple Macbook (2015)

Probably the biggest culprit to why we are paying attention to the new USB interface. The new Macbook is a thing of beauty and uses the new USB 3.1 Type-C interface. However, it received a lot of flak for having only one port.

Shortly after the announcement of the new Macbook, Google announced the new Chromebook Pixel. In comparison, the new Chromebook boasts two USB 3.1 Type C ports instead of just one.

    For those people thinking that apple is just riding on the US type-C technology, you might be totally wrong. Apple may have invented USB type-C.

      Yeah, right.

      Apple did not invent USB type-C. USB Implementers Forum did. Apple’s lightning connector is an inspiration of USB-IF in creating the USB type-C connector.

    Now i like this article better, and informative to me since there is a comparison between type-c implementation in different devices. Ou nga no usb 2.0 nga lang yung sa nokia n1, sayang. About sa 1 port decision ng apple it really sounds stupid but knowing apple there could be a reason behind that.
