On : DonвЂ™t settle! Here are solid alternatives for AppleвЂ™s lesser software From the sound of it, this feature is not far off (вЂњThere will be some press around it, IвЂ™m making sure of that,вЂќ he declared) and hopefully MicrosoftвЂ™s Windows and AppleвЂ™s macOS will follow suit. Leung said his team is working on messaging that will alert someone whoвЂ™s using the wrong cable in a future version of GoogleвЂ™s operating system. That will be changing soon, at least as far as ChromeOS is concerned. But usually, Leung said, all you see is a blank screen. You might think that, in a newer device with some smarts, that youвЂ™d get a notification that the cable youвЂ™re trying isnвЂ™t the right type.

Many Windows-based laptops are sold with USB-C cables and no clear indication that they wonвЂ™t work with video.

But you plug it into your Mac and the monitor and it doesnвЂ™t work.вЂќДЄnd itвЂ™s not just Apple, he said. вЂњWhat you're trying to do is drive video. вЂњIt is not unreasonable for users to just say, вЂLet me put that into my new monitorвЂ™,вЂќ he said. TheyвЂ™ve just heard that, hey, this kind of connector can work with video, too! Tech-savvy buyers may know itвЂ™s only for charging or data transfer, but someone who hasnвЂ™t kept up with USB-C might not.

As an example, Leung said Apple includes with its MacBooks a thick, white, braided cable, along with the trademark white USB-C charger. Exactly how a consumer is supposed to know that means video-capable is not clear.Д«ut some of the confusion lies the feet of the makers of hardware and operating systems. For example, USB-C cables that support video may have a logo with a stylized вЂњSSвЂќ.

And some of the logos donвЂ™t make much sense. The USB Implementers Forum, which markets and supports the USB standard, has created logos and labels (Leung calls them вЂњhieroglyphsвЂќ) that indicate which cables do what, but many sellers donвЂ™t use them. Some of the confusion around cable types has to do with labeling, he added. Leung said that when he first started writing blog posts about USB-C, six different type of cables were available. вЂњAnd it's not always clear because the connector is the same physically.вЂќ вЂњIt rests on the user to be able to pick the devices and and peripherals and hosts that can work together,вЂќ Leung said. What started out simple is not so simple anymore. Why such confusion? Benson Leung, the team leader in charge of USB-C for GoogleвЂ™s ChromeOS, the operating system that powers Chromebooks, said itвЂ™s because USB-CвЂ™s technology has gotten more capable over time.

The company is a laggard here despite being the first to offer USB-C starting with its 2015 MacBooks, then on MacBook Pros and Airs, and later on its Pro and Air lines of iPads. Wading further into this hot mess next year may be Apple, who is said to be finally switching from its proprietary Lightning connector to USB-C for its 2023 iPhones. Oh, then there are different charging and transfer speeds, meaning the cable you just bought may or may not juice up your laptop or phone as fast as it could, or back up data quickly to that external drive you just bought. Its wares are fractured: Some cables can used for charging and data transfer, but not for video, and because of inconsistent labeling, itвЂ™s not always clear which cables do what.

If youвЂ™ve bought an Android phone or any kind of laptop in the past five years, chances are itвЂ™s got a USB-C port.Д«ut eight years after its introduction, USB-C is a promise only partly fulfilled. By now, you likely have a device with a USB-C connection, with its plug thatвЂ™s about a quarter-inch long and symmetrical, so you canвЂ™t insert it incorrectly.
