My new phone has a C-C USB cable.

 

If I want to connect it to my PC, I have to either use an adapter on a USB 3.0 cable, or a USB C- USB A 3.0 cable.

 

Even though USB 3.1 is backward compatible, will using an adapter or a USB C to USB A 3.0 cable reduce the speed and/or advantages?

 

 

 

Since this is supposed to be the future for USB. I would like to understand this better.

 

I'm guessing new PC's will eventually have Type C ports.

 

Those of us without one will have to either continue using the standard USB ports or add USB C ports to the system?

 

Will anything be compromised by not acquiring a Type C USB port?

 

Thank you!
