Apple’s upcoming iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro will sport a variety of innovative upgrades and enhancements. USB-C is being implemented after years of user requests, thanks to EU Laws. It’s fantastic news, but there’s a restriction you should be aware of. Without an MFi-certified cable, the iPhone 15’s USB-C connector would slow down data transfers. Because of this, the port can only be used effectively with accessories that adhere to Apple’s standards.
First-party and MFi-certified Lightning ports and connectors have included a tiny integrated circuit that verifies the legitimacy of the connected components since their introduction in 2012. Third-party charging cables that are not MFi certified, for example, lack this chip, causing Apple devices to display “This accessory is not supported” messages.
ShrimpApplePro, the leaker, was also spot-on with his predictions about the Dynamic Island and the increased RAM in the iPhone 14. These findings are similar to those of supply chain expert Ming-Chi Kuo, who has led most of the iPhone USB-C discussion up to this point.

The authenticator chip is meant to encourage customers to buy genuine accessories, much like Apple’s decision to stop recognizing older iOS builds so users can experience the latest features and security updates. Authentic and counterfeit accessories can be easily distinguished. It’s true that there are benefits to using non-MFi accessories, but they will slow down your iPhone’s charging time and data transfer.
According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 15 lineup as a whole will adopt a USB-C connection, but only the iPhone 15 Pro models will offer USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3. An additional point of differentiation between the two versions is that the standard models will continue to use USB 2.0, despite Apple’s introduction of USB 3.0 for the higher-end models.
Apple wants there to be a clear distinction between the Pro models and the regular models so that the Pro models can be advertised as the premium versions.
Android Brands Following the Same Policy
It’s tempting to perceive this as Apple’s latest attempt to keep customers inside its ecosystem, but Android makers take a similarly closed approach to charging cords. Under the Oppo umbrella, OnePlus has adopted a red wire design as its charging norm. Faster charging has been a staple of the brand’s ecosystem for as long as anyone can remember.
As a result of its recent switch to SuperVOOQ, it requires a special connection and adapter in order to achieve the maximum 80W charging speeds advertised. The newest model, the OnePlus 11, can be fully charged with the provided cable and adapter in roughly 30 minutes.
Keep in mind that until Apple has the last say, it is premature to make any firm conclusions. We will keep you updated as soon as more information becomes available.
