Type-C (or USB-C) is just the physical standard for the interface, while things like USB 3.1, USB 4, Thunderbolt, etc. refer to the interface specification standard. It determines what the USB-C interface can do and how well it can do those things.

Why is everyone starting to use the Type-C interface?

In a word, because it's good.

1, Thinner, the size of only 8.3mm × 2.5mm, so the use of Type-C devices (cell phones, tablets, laptops, etc.) can be made thinner.

2, Support reverse plug, regardless of the front and back can be inserted, greatly improving the ease of use of the USB interface.

3, The transmission speed is faster, there are different points of how fast.

4, Support for audio and video transmission, extended to a variety of audio-video output interface, such as HDMI, DVI, VGA interface, and even external monitors can be transmitted 4K video, etc.

5, Support for bidirectional fast charging, both to charge the device itself, but also to power external devices. Charging power is up to 240W.

What kinds of Type-C interfaces are available?

Support for USB 2.0 is the ordinary Type-C, the general cell phone with this, can only be used for charging and slow data transfer.

Even better is the full-featured Type-C that supports USB 3.1 Gen 2. Generally which allows you to charge your computer, connect your monitor, charge your phone and transfer data, etc. Usually used on computers.

There is also Type-C that supports Thunderbolt 3/4 protocol, which is considered the strongest king in Type-C. Now the USB4 standard is also compatible with Thunderbolt 3, so the Type-C with USB4 protocol is also a high level.

Bi-directional Charging

Type-C with PD protocol can achieve fast charging and bi-directional charging. Both to charge the device itself, but also to power external devices. Charging power rate is up to 240W.It is so convenient that one cable can solve all the problems.

Price Difference

If you buy a USB-C cable from Apple's store, you can see what appears to be the same two models, but the price difference is more than double. This is because one is a Thunderbolt 3 standard and the other is just a regular USB-C cable. And the Thunderbolt 3 can be seen as thicker.
