Yep. It's a pain in the ass.

Because on most Macs it's Thunderbolt 3.

Except it's also USB-C.

And now it's Thunderbolt 4 and USB 4.

And there's Thunderbolt cables and USB-C cables.

And then there's charge cables and data cables.

And some work and others don't.

Why?

Because REASONS!



Here's how I deal with the TB question that customers always ask.

Customer: "Why would I use Thunderbolt?"

Me: "If you don't know, then you don't need it."

Customer: "Well, why is it there?"

Me: "It's not. Those are USB-C ports."
