Product Line: Cables
Application Scenario: AirDrop

AirDrop is a frequently used feature for many Apple users, allowing them to quickly transfer photos, videos, and documents to family or friends. However, many have likely experienced slow transfer speeds, freezing, or even failure, especially frustrating during moments like sharing vacation photos or sending client shots on the go. However, with just a cable, these issues can be easily resolved. This article will show you a little-known trick for wired AirDrop transfers, making file transfers fast and stable, even for large amounts of data!

AirDrop Too Slow? A Cable Solves It Easily!

Normally, AirDrop uses Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to establish a connection between devices and transfer files. While convenient, when transferring large amounts of data, unstable connection quality can easily affect speed and even lead to mid-transfer disconnections. In such cases, you can use a USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable to connect the two devices, such as Silicon Power's Boost Link PVC LK15CC. This enables wired AirDrop transfers, which not only enhances transfer stability but also allows for smoother transfers of large files due to its high-speed capabilities.
