USB Type-C transfers with macOS Ventura will be subject to permission

After the official statements about the macOS Ventura desktop operating system introduced by Apple recently, new details started to come in gradually. These include cable communication.

What are the macOS Ventura details?

One of the new features of the macOS Ventura update was to tie cable communication to permission. macOS Ventura, which previously performed secure device verification, will now confirm data transfers with USB Type-C cables.

By default, data transfer of USB Type-C and Thunderbolt accessories will ask for permission. The charging process will continue even if the user does not allow it. In other words, you can exclude a friend’s device from data transfer, while charging will continue.

This feature, which aims to prevent unwanted USB attacks, does not include previously approved devices such as monitors and power adapters. In addition, if there is a device connected while installing the update, it will also be excluded from this approval.
