The US-based technology giant Apple will most likely hold an event on September 12 and officially introduce the iPhone 15 family as part of this event. The most radical change in the new generation iPhones will undoubtedly be the USB Type-C port. The company will abandon the Lightning connector, which it has been using for years, in favor of USB Type-C, in line with the decision of the European Union.
We have readers who remember; After the spread of the European Union decision, a striking claim was made about Apple. According to some reliable sources, Apple would apply a double standard to USB Type-C cables, allowing cables without MFi certification to have lower charging and data transfer speeds. The latest news reveals that these claims are very likely to be true.
An ‘inside’ photo of the iPhone 15 shows it will use a new chip
A reliable source of iPhone leakers has shared several images showing the charging components of the iPhone 15. A chip named “3LD3” in these images was enough to reveal how Apple will implement a double standard on the iPhone 15. This chip will most likely contain the data of the MFi certificate. If a cable used does not have an MFi certificate, the control mechanism of this chip will reduce the charging and data transfer speed.
*This is how the USB Type-C components of the iPhone 15 series will look.
Apple’s MFi program, in its simplest terms, consists of issuing certificates to some companies that produce equipment for the iPhone. With this program, Apple is trying to explain that products such as third-party cables, chargers or headphones are of original quality. However, this does not mean that products without MFi certificate are of poor quality. Think of it this way; You own a Samsung phone and have a plan to upgrade to the iPhone 15 this year. There is also the original USB Type-C cable that came with your Samsung phone. With this cable, you will not be able to fast charge the iPhone 15 or transfer data at high speed.
However, the European Union took such a decision to increase sustainability. The excess of electronic waste and the consumption of energy for them was something the European Union did not want. However, this move by Apple will cause old cables to become obsolete again. After all, who of us would like to spend hours charging an iPhone 15 that we bought after paying tens of thousands of liras?
