What is USB-C and how is it different from USB-A
USB-A is the flat rectangular connector you've probably used for years. USB-C is the newer oval connector that's wider and works the same no matter which way you plug it in. Your device has one or the other — check your device to see which one you have, then buy cables that match.
USB-A and USB-C are just different shapes of connectors. USB-A is older and looks like a flat rectangle — you have to figure out which way is up to plug it in. USB-C is newer and oval-shaped, and you can plug it in either way. They do the same job of connecting cables to devices, but the shape changed so newer devices can be thinner and faster.
