Android smartphones and iphones are different in many ways. There are also different solutions in terms of interfaces. While Apple is going its own way with lightning, many Android manufacturers put on the new USB Type C connectors. But what makes the interfaces really different?
What's better: iphone or Android smartphones? There will never be a satisfactory answer to this question, yet the dispute over the issue will continue to be continued by generations of fans. But despite all the contradictions, there are also many similarities. For example, the current trend is to replace the various interfaces in the smartphone like the headphone jack through a universal. Since the iphone 7 Apple puts on this point on lightning. More and more Android manufacturers are also installing the new USB Type C connector, which offers comparable advantages. However, there are some differences you should be aware of.
Apple: Benefits of Lightning
When Apple introduced 2012 Lightning for the iphone, there was nothing comparable. Today, Lightning still offers many advantages in terms of technical engineering. For example, it makes no difference how you graze the connector. where USB Type-C now also offers this convenience. For this, the Lightning plug is smaller and more robust. When plugging in a USB Type C connector, there is a relatively strong resistance that results in faster wear and tear. Added to this is the risk of contamination. Apple's lightning plug automatically strips dust and dirt when plugged into the interface.
Since Apple has full control over lightning, the manufacturer is independent of the level of development of the others. Adjustments and improvements are therefore theoretically faster for the new iphones and ipads available. In addition, Apple is earning a lot of money with the licensing of lightning to third parties.
Android: Advantages of USB Type-C
USB Type-C with USB 3.1 can transfer more energy. This allows new Android smartphones to be charged much faster. Apple's lightning adapter lacks this integrated fast-charge technology. The full charging of an iphone-7 battery therefore takes a good two hours. Android smartphones with USB Type C connector like the Samsung Galaxy S8, on average, need only one and a half hours to load the battery from zero to a hundred.
A USB Type C port with a USB 3.1 standard can not only charge your smartphone faster. Data transfer is also much faster. In comparison, Apple's Lightning connector has eight connectors that guarantee a maximum transfer rate of 480 Mbit/s. A USB Type C connector, on the other hand, has 24 connectors and thus comes to a maximum transfer rate of 10 Gbit/S.
USB Type-C is universally compatible. All possible electronic devices, whether PC or stereo, have a USB connection. As an official new standard, interfaces for USB type-C will be installed anywhere in the future. In addition, USB type-C allows image and audio. In the future, HDMI or VGA signals can also be transmitted via the USB interface.
usb c vs usb 3?
The comparison clearly shows that the newer USB type-C has technically overhauled Apple's lightning. The handling of lightning may offer some advantages, but in terms of loading speed and data transfer, the Android interface is clearly in the advantage. So it is not surprising that the iphone 8 should have a USB Type C-Fast function. According to Ming Chi Kuo, the iphone 8 will still continue to be set to lightning. The connection is to be realized via a USB type-C on lightning cable. The 10w charger has a USB Type C connector that connects to the Lightning port of the iphone 8 via the special cable. Analyst Blayne Curtis is also convinced that there is an integrated USB-C power delivery chip in both the charger and the iphone itself.
