The excitement with the iPhone 15 is continuous. The networks are filled with renders and concepts after the leaks received weekly. This information gives us an idea of what the final device will look like… but nothing official. What seems certain is that Apple will abandon Lightning to finally bring the USB-C connector to iPhone 15.

The USB-C connector will come to the iPhone 15… with limitations
This news is not new. A few days ago we told you that Apple was about to launch MFI (Made for iPhone/iPad/iPod) certification for USB-C cables. This certificate is a program created by the Big Apple to provide confidence in accessories and products from accessory manufacturers, among others. Thanks to this certification and by means of a chip, the device is able to recognize which accessories have the All right from Apple.

The need for this MFI certification shows that Apple will Limits on USB-C cables for iPhone 15. Therefore, the Big Apple will succumb to pressure to remove Lightning from the iPhone, but USB-C won’t have it easy. Analyst Ming Chi-Kuo assures iPhone 15 will limit charging devices just like the iPhone 14 already does, but in this case with a correct head (20W in the standards, 27W in the Pro models).
Kuo assures that faster USB-C charges will only come with MFI-certified cables from Apple. In other words, the charge of the iPhone 15 will be limited in the event that an official cable or one authorized by the apple is not used. And beyond charging, there can also be limitations on data transfer speeds. Everything remains to be seen.
