  • USB-C on iPhone 15 might still require MFi certified cables

    The USB-C ports will likely be limited to USB 2 just like the Lightning to USB-A adapters have been (even though they supported USB 3 on the iPads with the same adapter).

    If Apple continues its policy--as I expect it will--of keeping older iPhone models in the lineup to sell at reduced prices, then the switch to USB-C has to happen with the iPhone 15. (Keep in mind that Apple STILL sells new iPhone 12s on its website.) If Apple waits until 2024 to switch to USB-C on the iPhone 16, then it would not have any previous models that it could continue to sell in the EU. 
    I mean they would just only sell the 15/15 Pro in the EU. Unless adding a Lightning to USB-C adapter to older ones would satisfy the EU overlords (like it did before with the micro-USB adapter), Apple likely wouldn't care much about having older models over there anyway.

    Even on iPhone now. There is nothing forcing the use but encouraging it
    I mean, there is. Ask anyone who's bought cheap, non-MFi Lightning cables or accessories. At some point they get borked by an update, which is why you should still buy MFi Lightning cables. I've encountered quite a few of these people that were tricked into buying cables they thought would work without issue.
