USB-C is about as ubiquitous as a piece of tech can get. The world’s most common pill-shaped data transfer and power delivery port can be found everywhere, from the side of the MacBook Air to the interiors of cars, from power banks to the PS5.
It’s also the port of choice for every currently-made smartphone. Android phone makers took to USB-C, with its reversible connection and impressive data transfer speeds, in the late 2010s – Apple, however, lagged behind until 2023, when incoming European Union regulations forced the world’s biggest company to adopt USB-C for new iPhone models.
