USB-A, also known as USB Type-A, is a universal serial bus standard and one of our most common data interfaces. Various PCs, PC peripherals, mobile phone chargers, etc. all use this interface. The size of USB-A is relatively large. According to people's predictions, it will be gradually eliminated by smaller and more efficient USB Type-C connectors. But until now, many new products still use the USB-A interface, making the elimination process very slow.
It is undeniable that, compared to USB-A connectors that need to distinguish between positive and negative and low transmission efficiency, Type-C has the advantages of free plugging, high efficiency transmission, and powerful power supply. However, the USB-A connector has been popular for decades. If the socket is changed rashly, consumers will not be able to use a large number of external devices or need to purchase additional plugs. Therefore, the cost of Type-C interface promotion is not only for manufacturers, but also for consumers.
For example, for data lines, the current popular method is to directly install a conversion head at the interface, or purchase a three-in-one data line, at the expense of transmission speed in order to adapt to various interfaces. Various inconveniences make consumers resist the interface innovation. In terms of performance, the Type-C interface is sufficient to replace the USB-A interface on various devices, but in reality, only the advancement of the mobile phone is relatively smooth. USB-A still occupies the mainstream status on a large number of external devices. In order to adapt to external devices, the host can only continue to retain the USB-A interface. Although the performance of the big-tailed USB-A interface is already behind, the huge user base makes this connector still have market demand. I believe that in a few years, the Type-C interface will still not be able to completely replace the USB-A interface. In other words, it is precisely because the performance of Type-C still fails to completely impress users, that makes users more inclined to choose conservative old-style interfaces.
Of course, the market ecology where multiple interface standards coexist is only temporary. As long as people still desire thinner, more portable, and more efficient electronic products, the USB-A interface will inevitably exit the stage of history.
