After the Apple conference yesterday, the official website has listed a variety of new products, such as iPhone SE 3, iPad Air 5, Mac Studio, etc., can already view the specific parameters on the official website.
Today Weibo has a hot search and shocked me, actually so many students do not know Thunderbolt 4, today I have to give you a good science popularization.
The hot search is "Apple 1.8 meters connecting line sells for 949 yuan", most of the comments below are mocking apples cutting leeks, buying people are too stupid.
But ah, these students do not seem to understand one thing, Thunderbolt 4 and ordinary USB-C although the interface looks the same, but it is not a thing at all.
Thunderbolt is a connector standard that uses USB-C interfaces from the third generation. From Apple's official website, the thunderbolt 4 Pro cable has a maximum transmission rate of 40Gbps, DisplayPort video output (HBR3), and supports a power supply capacity of up to 100 watts.
In simple terms, Raiden 4 is the most comprehensive interface protocol so far, that is, the power supply, video transmission, data transmission, audio output and other functions are all integrated together, and can also provide ultra-high-speed transmission speed, which is impossible to achieve with ordinary USB-C data cables.
For professional users, the functions of Thunderbolt 4 can be said to be a direct hit compared to the previous generation, such as connecting multiple 4K displays at the same time, transmitting 8K video faster, high-speed charging, and even connecting external graphics cards...
And netizens said "25 yuan to buy a 5-meter" USB-C data cable, the probability only supports USB 2.0 rate, the highest transmission rate of 480Mbit/s, in addition to the same interface, is not the same thing at all...
Think Apples sell expensive? Let's take a look at how much a third-party Thunderbolt 4 cable sells:
If you think that the price of Apple is too high, you can choose a third-party Thunderbolt 4 connection line, but it is also about 500 yuan.
It should be noted that Thunderbolt 4 and the USB-C cable you use to charge your phone are not the same thing, don't be rhythmic by unscrupulous media.
Not to mention
