Apple's new MacBook is probably the single most controversial characteristics USB-C interface. Laptop does not say the only data interface, all major interface physically different and cannot directly compatible, Apple's radical once again shocked the world.
USB-C Universal USB Type c, is an extension of the popular USB standard programme. Characteristics of the new interface is small and is not divided into positive and negative direction, more human. Theory Type c interface can be used in USB 2.0 and 3.0 on the bus, however, manufacturers tend to Type c with a new generation of USB3.1 transmission specification used with.
USB3.1 is evolved versions of the USB3.0 and its improvement is a double transmission speeds reach 10Gbps, the second is capacity to a maximum of 100W of power supply, and also provides video/audio/data transmission channel. USB3.1 can be used as power supply, audio and video channels and peripheral pathways that can greatly simplify the interface configuration of the host. Just because with USB3.1, the new MacBook can do only one interface.
The industry marvel at Apple's avant-garde and radical at the same time quickly issued a new set of questions: since USB 3.1 Type-C are so powerful, it can be replaced on iOS devices now use Lightning and Thunderbolt on the Mac platform?
Starting from iPod years ago Apple's mobile device has been in use on its own dedicated interface. Used to be wide 30pin, later converted into positive and negative feel free to insert, small Lightning. Two common characteristics of the interface is compatible with a variety of types of data transfer, you can either transfer USB converted to DVI, VGA and HDMI, also can connect to a variety of audio devices. Previous USB specifications for other data protocol compatibility is not good, can not meet the demand for Apple devices, and Apple's set of standards alone is taken for granted. GUCCI Note 4 Case
But the latest USB 3.1 Type-C has in fact been completely replace the Lightning: compared to the former with the latter has far more bandwidth, more power and more than comparable protocol compatibility, interface is smaller and equally positive and negative just inserted. If Apple, iOS device can be converted to the new interface, the interface standards simplify Apple's ecosystem.
But to use Lightning interface equipment and accessories on the market too much, why Apple will quickly replace them would no doubt users and partners bring a lot of inconvenience. USB 3.1 Type-C will also be widely used Android devices in the future, if so soon to fully support this standard will reduce the control Apple accessory markets. Lightning standard itself has potential for improvement, evolved its overall performance, functionality, will not be worse than USB-C. Highly unlikely that iOS device interface, Lightning is at least there will be five or six years of life. GUCCI Note 4 Case
Another interface specification Thunderbolt is PC and Mac platform common criteria, but because of the high cost, only Apple is widely deployed the interface in its product line. USB3.1 the transmission rates of up to 10Gbps, is level with the first generation of Thunderbolt, then what's the possibility of the former instead of the latter?
In fact, and contrary to popular impression, Thunderbolt specifications from the beginning did not intend to replace the USB or confrontation. Which is essentially a field-oriented transmission standard, the goal is to replace the earlier FireWire, or IEEE 1394 interface. Thunderbolt advantage over USB is not only higher bandwidth, more important is that it uses a standard PCIe bus protocol. PCIe expansion devices one simple modification, you can connect to the host with the Thunderbolt, did not even drive needs to be replaced. Thunderbolt also support daisy-chain expansion and PC direct high-speed data transfer capability, these are USB protocol is not possible, professional users is needed. Although very few consumer grade parts that use this interface, but in the professional field of Thunderbolt and no substitutes. So all the apples and other workstation manufacturers won't give up Thunderbolt, not to replace it with consumer grade USB.
In fact most likely replace the new USB standard or USB itself. USB3.1 replacing the 3.0 and 2.0, needless to say, compact and user-friendly Type-C interface specifications is expected to completely replace the old there are a lot of USB interface type. Apple Mac series of next generation may all use Type-C USB interface specification, PC and mobile device industries will follow after, out of use for many years of the traditional Type-A USB interface. The first iMac in 1998 for the first time abandoned the old serial ports, parallel ports, comprehensive and switch to USB PS/2 interface, Apple once again today in front of the times leading the way. No matter how big the new MacBook controversy over, it will become the new interface universal a great hero.

GoPro Hero4 Silver
As a camera not only do the camera, holding a bunch of extreme sports videos in the Youtube, further down the hearts of grass when GoPro spelling is not the hardware of the camera itself. Sports culture as the core, and relatively good hardware and accessories, GoPro sports camera is you want to do, "Red Bull", once the GoPro truly "moving camera" yardstick of all latecomers, no matter how cheap the price. Performance highlights, will have to face many problems faced by such domestic beverage Red Bull, users to buy or not to buy you, depends entirely on how much you like "Red Bull".
