'USB type-C',the most important technology that comes with much speed, convenience and power that our gadgets will never be the same again. USB-C is theoretically USB 3.1,twice as fast as USB 3.0
What is USB-C?
USB-C is the new standard connector and cable that powers the MacBook. The USB-C was developed by the USB Implementers Forum, the group of companies that developed and certified the USB standards. It counts over 700 companies in its membership, including Apple, Dell, HP, Intel, Microsoft, and Samsung.Contrast this with the Apple-developed and promoted Lightning and MagSafe connectors,whose acceptance was limited to Apple products.
It's more likely that USB-C to be accepted by the majority of PC manufacturers.

The disconnect between USB 3.1’s performance standard and the USB Type-C connector is going to inevitably cause confusion. One reason the shift from USB 2.0 to 3.0 was relatively painless is because coloring both the cables and plugs bright blue made it impossible to mistake one type of port for the other
USB-C is theoretically twice as fast as USB 3.0. It's fully compatible electrically with USB 3.0, though obviously it won't plug in physically without an adapter.Apple's MacBook will be first out the door with USB-C support.
