Apple
Until the iPhone 14, the wired way to mirror your cell phone screen on an external screen was through a Lightning to HDMI or Lightning to VGA adapter. Apple’s proprietary connector was limited to Full HD (1080p) streaming. Another possibility is AirPlay, a wireless connection feature compatible with some smart TV models.
Now, the possibility of transmitting video is expanded thanks to the USB-C port which, as it is a universal standard, is more scalable and compatible with different technologies.
With the launch of the brand’s first cell phones with USB-C, users will be able to use a single cable to recharge the battery, transmit video and connect to other devices for data transfer without worrying regarding platform compatibility — be it iOS, Android , macOS or Windows.
Apple started selling a USB-C cable with support for recharging up to 60W (1 meter) for R$219, the same price charged for the old USB-C to Lightning cable. With the new accessory, users can power the iPhone 15, iPad Pro, MacBook Air and any other device compatible with the universal standard.
