After the iPhone 15 uses the USB-C interface, it is expected to increase the transmission rate of Lightning to the latest USB4 specification of the USB-IF, so as to meet the applications of the iPhone 15 such as video transmission, data transmission, high-definition audio, etc. At this rate, the cable needs to be equipped with an E-Marker chip to mark the data transmission capacity of the cable, so that the cable will not become a bottleneck and affect high-speed data transmission.
At the 2023 Digital Technology Carnival, the charging head network had the honor to invite more than ten celebrities to share their views on the unified USB-C interface of the iPhone.
CEO of Shenzhen Beisi Technology Co., Ltd.: He Shiyou
First of all, users no longer need to take an additional charging line for their mobile phones. After all, the new iPad Air/mini/Pro series has already been replaced with USB-C interface. The most direct impact of the unification of the interface form on users is more convenient. Previously, when going out for travel, they always wanted to remember "will you forget which line to take?" Now, it's all right. One line will solve the problem.
From the perspective of our industry, it is conducive to streamlining the production line.Because Apple occupies a very strong position in USB-IF, the current mainstream general charging protocol will make Apple's equipment "drink soup". When the stock market of L port drops in the future, we can concentrate on producing USB-C related equipment.Neither we nor users need to worry about distinguishing the form of charging ports.
Jiao Jian, CEO of Aigo Security Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd
IPhone has decided to switch from Lightning interface to USB-C interface, but according to Apple's past practice, it may limit the transmission speed of third-party accessories. Apple's brand influence in the industry is enough to support it to maximize its benefits through MFI.
In addition, Apple will not be as aggressive as domestic manufacturers in terms of fast charging, but even so, for ordinary consumers, if only the efficiency of non certified accessories is limited rather than prohibited, it will greatly facilitate users to leap from being unable to charge to being able to charge, and avoid the embarrassment of being unable to charge without Lightning data cable when going out.
CEO of Shanji Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.: Zhang Bo
This unification should mean the coming of a new era!First of all, for users who use Android and Apple at the same time, there is no need to bring two more lines.In addition, for Apple Family Bucket users, their experience was somewhat fragmented before, and now they don't need to take two lines - the experience has almost been fundamentally improved.
Secondly, the high-speed data transmission capability of the C port is relatively strong. The iPhone 15 pro and pro max both adopt the USB3 standard, which is nearly 20 times faster than the previous generation iPhone 14. For users who want to do local backup, it is a great improvement in experience.
Finally, I think the unified USB-C interface of iPhone is too cheap for video capture users!Both iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max support external video recording. The 256G iPhone 15 Pro is 8999 yuan. If you want to upgrade to 1TB, you need to add 4000 yuan. In fact, the cost is a little high.At present, only one external device supporting USB3 via C port can completely solve the problem of insufficient storage space, and the price may be only one tenth of the upgrade package.
CEO of Shenzhen Lvjuneng Technology Development Co., Ltd.: Yang Xiaoming

First, at the level of universality.USB-C is more versatile than Lighting and more friendly to most consumers!After all, most of the current smart devices are USB - C ports (hereinafter referred to as C ports). In the future, consumers need not buy an extra cable or headset for the Lightning port of Apple devices.
The second is the level of charging power.Since the lighting port is limited to the physical level, the charging power cannot be too high.However, the peak power of the C port of the domestic mobile phone has reached 240w, while the peak charging power of the C port iPhone 15 is not a big breakthrough, but it can also reach about 35W, which is much friendlier than the ancestral Wufu Yi'an. It is expected that the subsequent Apple charging power will have a greater breakthrough after being replaced with the C port.
Moreover, data transmission level.This time, the data transmission speed of Apple's 15pro and 15pro max has been increased to 10Gb/s. This is undoubtedly due to the decision to use the C port. A movie can be transmitted in an instant.
Zunke Technology, founded in 2014, has been deeply involved in domestic offline channels. Its products cover more than 30000 offline outlets. It has three sub brands: ① Zunke, which focuses on safe flash charging; ②Focus on [tone to] of audio category; ③Focus on protective [film preparation].
As a senior digital product brand, Zunke has always kept in mind the mission of "Let 3C digital users enjoy the ultimate experience", and is committed to "becoming the most trusted 3C digital product provider in the world". At the time when Apple 15 is replaced by C, Zunke has kept pace with the market and has launched many matching products with the ultimate experience to meet the needs of consumers!
General Manager of Guangdong Qike Technology Co., Ltd.: Jinhua
In the 2023 Apple Autumn New Product Launch, the charging interface was finally unified as the USB-C interface. A C line can be used for most notebooks, tablets and mobile phones in the market to achieve the unification of product interface and wire materials.On the one hand, it has brought convenience to consumers and improved charging power, on the other hand, it has also produced many environmental benefits.
The Pro series has been upgraded to the USB3 specification, with a maximum speed of 10Gbps.This change will promote the popularization and development of USB-C, and the PD fast charging market will continue to benefit. Business, finance, photographers and other office groups and game users can expand external devices.The USB-C market has ushered in new opportunities and development, and ZIKE will continue to promote this technology. The company has developed a number of ecological chain products to meet the needs of consumers.
Bu Xiangmin, President of Shenzhen Digital Intelligence Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd
The unified USB-C interface of iPhone will provide faster data transmission and charging speed, increase compatibility, and provide users with more functions and options, greatly improving user experience and convenience.USB-C has faster data transmission speed and charging speed, which means that users can transfer data to the iPhone faster and also charge the phone faster.
Currently, the charging speed of iPhone is slow, which is very important to save users' time.USB-C interface will also support more functions and accessories, such as external display, audio interface, storage device, etc.This will provide users with more options and extended functions, making their iPhone more powerful and versatile.
Co founder of Shenzhen Yisu Technology Co., Ltd.: Chen Dunzheng
The iPhone with USB-C interface is a very positive event for both users and the industry.The unified interface means the simplification of charging devices. One package can meet the charging needs of more devices. From then on, the charging barrier of mobile phones, tablets and computers will be further broken.
It is also worth noting that with the increase of wireless charging power, users' acceptance and attention of magnetic magnetic wireless charging products are also increasing. We will also keep our attention in future product development.
Li Yanbo, CEO of Shenzhen Youbi Technology Co., Ltd
With the improvement of wireless charging, connection and transmission technology, the profit contribution of MFi has been far less than the original recognition. In addition, due to the "environmental protection", the change of iPhone 15 to USB-C interface can be said to be forced by the situation.
Apple fan users may not need to pay a higher price to buy MFi devices that can also be implemented in cracked versions, and a dual C line fills all.Product developers do not need to make superfluous products due to the restrictions of MFi certification. For example, whether the magnetic wireless charging bank should be equipped with an L port in addition to the C port, and whether the charger with a charging line should be equipped with a C line+L line. These will withdraw from the stage as the stock market becomes smaller, so that users can get practical benefits, product developers can play freely, and the market for Apple accessories will become more open.
CTO of Xingu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.: Zeng Qiongyu
Apple's USB-C interface will realize the global unification of the USB-C interface. The USB-C interface supports higher power transmission and can achieve faster charging speed, which is an obvious advantage for users, especially for mobile devices.And USB-C interface can be used for many purposes, including charging, data transmission, video output, etc.This means that users can realize multiple functions through a single interface, reducing the need to use different interfaces.
The adoption of a more universal standard can also effectively reduce the generation of electronic waste, which coincides with the corporate mission of Xingu to "take a responsibility for the green earth practice with the low consumption and superior power solutions of technological innovation".We will also launch relevant linkage products to try to bring more energy-saving and interesting DIY products to everyone.
CTO of Bulaoshi Information Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.: Bi Wenyuan
After the type C is unified, the peripherals that the user needs to carry will be simpler. For example, the data line will no longer need CtoL, and the cost of the server will also be reduced. For example, the shared power bank manufacturer will only need to unify the C port in the future.
The world unifies one interface to complete power supply and data interaction, which is the progress brought by science and technology.
SF Saifei Brand Director of Guangdong Fuyuan Technology Co., Ltd.: Huang Xiaofeng
1. More convenient charging and data transmission: The USB-C port has a high transmission speed and power output capability, which can realize fast charging and high-speed data transmission.
2. Wider compatibility: USB-C port is a universal interface standard, which is widely used in many different types of devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, external displays, etc.
3. More function expansion: USB-C interface supports multiple functions.
4. Better design and portability: Compared with the previous Lightning interface, the USB-C interface is smaller and more convenient to design thinner and lighter devices.
5. More environmental protection: The United Nations started from environmental protection.
In general, if the iPhone uniformly uses the USB-C port, it will bring more convenient charging and data transmission, wider compatibility, more function expansion, and better design and portability.These advantages are expected to improve the user experience and work better with other devices.
Just like SF Sapphire's environmental protection concept, SF Sapphire has been implementing a paid recycling policy for more than two years, encouraging consumers of Sapphire to work together with our brand to protect the environment without waste.SF has not only achieved 0.23mm thickness of bare film for sapphires with Mohs hardness 9, which is second only to diamonds, but also has covered a large area of recycling in Huaqiang North's physical stores, making it more convenient and improving the recycling rate of major sapphire film users, reducing the generation of waste products, and subverting the application and reusability of films.However, many cheap tempered films on the market will produce more domestic waste. SF Sapphire's recycling concept is closely followed by the environmental protection concept of the United Nations such as USB-C interface.
Lai Junheng, Deputy Secretary General of Guangdong Terminal Fast Charging Industry Association
In terms of charging function, the iPhone uses the USB-C interfaceThe main benefit should be that the demand for charging lines of Apple+USB-C becomes more and more in a short timeThe transition period may take 2-3 yearsOn the contrary, the industries related to the pure Apple Lightning interface will also decline.
In other aspects, the functions that Apple iPad Pro has realized on USB-C may also be realized on iPhoneFor example, USB-C projection screen, USB docking station, etc., allow peripheral accessories on both sides to "share"When the time comes, people who buy iPhones may think for a long time about whether to buy an additional iPad.
Summary of charging head network
Since Apple's iPhone 15 series began to use the USB-C interface in an all-round way, almost all smart mobile devices on the market now use the USB-C interface. Users only need to carry a USB-C cable to power all devices and transmit data, instead of carrying multiple cables.
