  • And at the other end of the MacBook, it seems the USB-C hardware has also changed. The cable is now perma-fixed to the USB board, condensing the two components into a single unit.

  • ...Also, the silicon is new and moved from the cable itself to the USB board. Here's a comparison of the new USB-C hardware (top) with that of the 2015 Retina MacBook (bottom).

  • Parade Technologies PS8741A (likely an iteration of the PS8740 USB-C redriving switch)

  • Diodes Incorporated PI1EQX7502 USB 3.0 redriver (likely)

  • NXP Semiconductor CBTL04043A1 4-Ch. bidirectional crossbar switch

  • This new USB and cable arrangement is one thing that's not compatible with previous Retina MacBooks.

Am anderen Ende hat sich die USB-C Hardware anscheinend auch geändert. Das Kabel ist nun fest mit der USB Platine verbunden, so dass beide zu einer Einheit verschmelzen.

Das Silizium sind auch neu und wurde vom Kabel weg direkt in die USB Platine verlegt. Hier ist ein Vergleichsbild der neuen USB-C Hardware (oben) mit der aus dem 2015er MacBook (unten).

Parade Technologies PS8741A (vermutlich eine Fortschreibung des PS8740 USB Type-C Umsteuerschalters)

Diese neue USB- und Kabelanordnung ist eine Sache, die nicht mit vorherigen Retina MacBooks kompatibel ist.
