iPhone 15 use the USB-C pot, but still with an authentication chip

In October 2022, Charging Head.com reported that the iPhone 15 would be forced to abandon the Lightning to USB-C interface due to the EU’s unified electronic product interface as USB-C. At that time, fruit fans all over the world sighed, and the USB-C that they had been thinking about for many years finally came. Some fans also questioned that other brands would accept the words honestly, but Apple is likely to find ways to continue to bypass regulations and maintain huge profits in its own ecosystem.
EU mandates full adoption of USB-C ports for consumer electronics
On June 7, 2022, the European Union reached a provisional agreement to make the USB-C interface a universal charging standard for small electronic devices by the end of 2024. On October 4, 2022, at the plenary session of the European Parliament, the new law was passed with 602 votes in favor, 13 votes against, and 8 abstentions, which means that the interface replacement of consumer electronics devices that spanned several years has finally made substantial progress.
The legally applicable devices include newly-manufactured mobile phones, tablet computers, digital cameras, laptops, headsets, handheld game consoles, portable speakers, e-readers, keyboards, mice, portable navigation systems, covering all common portable devices currently on the market. Consumer Electronics.
iPhone 15 will use USB-C port
The Lightning interface was first used on the iPhone 5 in 2012, replacing the 30-pin connector of the previous generation. When this interface was released, it had obvious advantages over the old interface, such as supporting front and back blind insertion, small size, and easy to use. Since then, the Lightning port has been carried on all subsequent iPhones. Nowadays, the Lightning interface can no longer keep up with the current needs. There are disadvantages such as slow transmission rate, incomplete ecosystem, and special certification for accessories, which makes it look old-fashioned.
After the EU's USB-C interface mandatory regulations are passed, it means that the iPhone 15, like other electronic products, can only be sold in the EU region using the USB-C interface.
The iPad has moved to USB-C across the board
Apple's iPad tablet computer series has four product lines: Pro, Air, mini, and entry-level standard version. At the beginning, the Lightning interface was used. As the iPad becomes more and more powerful, the outdated Lightning interface has become the biggest bottleneck. Except for an old model, the ninth-generation iPad standard version, which still uses the Lightning interface, the new iPad series currently on sale have been fully transferred to the USB-C interface system.
Based on multiple sources, the replacement of the USB-C interface for the next-generation iPhone is a certainty. As for whether Apple’s self-made USB-C certification chip will affect the versatility of the device to accessories, it is still inconclusive. I believe that more and more information will gradually leak out with the launch of the new generation of iPhone. Headnet will continue to follow up the report.
As for Apple adopting the USB-C authentication chip as rumored, there are two possibilities. One is that the unauthorized data line cannot be used at all, and the other is that the unauthorized data line slows down (charging speed or data rate). The charging power of the iPhone is not high, and it is incomprehensible to reduce the charging speed. You must know that a standard USB-C data cable without any chip can safely run a full 3A current, which is enough to feed the fast charging needs of the iPhone 14 series and iPad series. .
After making the authentication chip for the USB-C cable by myself, can I still use the universal data cable? The editor can only say that I don't know, but that is Apple.
