  • iPhone 15 to require certified accessories for full access to USB-C

    SF90SF90
    Absolute and utter BS. All C to C cables MUST support minimum of 3A at up to 20V. The Pro Max has a max charging speed of 9V @ 3A. Any cable made to spec MUST at minimum be able to max out the charging speed of an iPhone - you don’t have to look. There is no wrong way to plug in a cable that can “potentially damage” in a way MFi can solve.

    Also, no cable is going to lie about the charging speed to your device. To charge above 3A, you must include an additional special chip. If your cable does not contain such a chip, then the charger and device know the max is 3A. Anyone lying to you on the label and saving $0.001 to use a smaller gauge wire would much more likely to just not include the chip and thus your device will cap it at 3A.

    In short: this is a solution in search of a problem, to pad Apple’s pocket. If you want a tested and certified cable, the USB-IF already does that. My main gripe about Apple cords is that they’re not a guarantee of quality. Lightning cables that came with the iPhone cost $20, and last me at most a year before their soft coatings tear. Monoprice cables have a lifetime warranty but I’ve been using them for 5+ years without having to replace them. Literally paying more for an inferior product.
