USB-C
Nowadays, most devices have a USB-C connector. You recognise it by its oval, flat shape.

USB-A
This has a rectangular shape. You often see this connector on laptops, computers and some charging blocks.

Apple Lightning
A charging and data connector developed by Apple. This connector is no longer used on new Apple devices. Newer devices have the standard USB-C connector.

MagSafe 1 / 2 / 3
A magnetic charging connector, specially designed for Apple MacBooks. The big advantage is that the cable releases if someone trips over it, which prevents damage to your laptop. The different versions (1, 2 and 3) each have their own shape and don't fit each other.
