However, USB-C can transfer data at much faster speeds.Īnd given most iPads and all Macs now come with USB-C ports as standard, it’s likely Apple knows USB-C is the future. So how does USB-C compare to Lightning? USB-C is still a much larger port (physically) thank Lightning, so it takes up more space on the device. USB-C is even used on the iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini line of Apple tablets.
Most flagship Android smartphones use USB-C ports (although cheaper Android phones still often use micro-USB ports).
USB-C is quickly becoming the default plug around the world.
