New iPhones are finally slated to drop proprietary connectors from their 2023 "15 series" onward. However, Apple fans looking forward to enjoying the universal appeal of USB type-C may be disappointed to learn that the Cupertino behemoth allegedly intends to impose its current MFi system on its version of the port. The rumored restrictions might be enforced using similar hardware that keeps the Lightning port in the same walled garden at present.https://www.notebookcheck.net/iPhone-15-series-will-still-demand-MFi-cables-USB-type-C-or-not.693394.0.html
I'm not a lawyer, but based on the wording of the EU Legislation this would be illegal for charging at least.
It's not only a requirement to use a Type-C Port but also for manufacturers to not limit the speed of charging based on the charger used.
now you can make one too cupertino...MFNiTOO cables pls
For real, I wish Apple keep using their "extraordinary" lighting port. Why stop charging fanboys for premium who are so obsessed with exclusive accessories designed for Apple products?
Otherwise, manufacturers and retailers will push up the price of general USB-C cables for more profits just because of the stupid license at zero cost.
