I wanted to show off these cables I got from Amazon by ICZI. These are Type C USB Cables. Now you’re wondering why did I get these cables. Well I still use a laptop and my friend has an Apple MacBook. These cables also work with Chromebooks. There are also some Android Smartphones that are starting to use Type C cables to charge the phones. Now what makes these cables great is they are both syncing and charging cables and very thick compare to the normal charging cables. They are also braided to make them last longer with wear and tear. I also got a 3 pack of these cables.
When you take them out of the box they are rolled up nicely. I ordered the 3 pack of cables. I’ll keep two and give one to my friend for his MacBook. As you can see they thicker than the average charging/syncing cable. I did try these with a LG V20 smartphone. They work for charging. The length of the cables are 3.3ft(1m). They are Reversible Type-C connector, backwards compatible with other USB versions and supports fast charging up to 5 Gbps USB 3.0 data transfer.
They also offer a 2 pack on Amazon if you don’t want three. The only difference is one is a 6.6ft(2m) and 3.3ft(1m) cables
Now what if you have older UBS cables ? No problem you can get Type C Adapters for your old USB cables. I got a 4 pack. It has 2 USB to Type C and 2 Micro USB to Type C. If you don’t want this many adapters, you can order a 2 pack on Amazon instead. If you have any questions about this blog post, please leave comments. Have a great day and see you soon.
Hi there ashcroft54 (Tina).
I am having flashbacks to the transition period from the wide Apple dock plugs to lightning plugs. So, so many new cables and adapters when that happened. It was such a relief – worthy of a clebration – when I stopped using the last of my devices with the dock cables, and only had to worry about lightning and USB 2 and 3.
Now having to learn the ins and outs of Type C.
Sigh !!
Have a great day.

It’s crazy but what’s even more crazy was an Apple iPhone rumour. The rumour was they were going to add in a Type C along with Lightning as an alternative charging plug and data transfer. They had iPhone prototypes with a Type C to go with the MacBooks.
Hi there ashcroft54 (Tina).
Crazy is spot on ! What can we do but smile 🙂
Have the best of days – Family, Friends and good light.
