Jakarta (ANTARA) – Apple is said to be releasing a new smartphone, the iPhone 15, with support for charging using a USB Type C connection.
This was conveyed by Apple Analyst Ming Chi Kuo as reported by Phone Arena, Tuesday, who said the move was to comply with the provisions of the European Union.
Even so, the USB Type C connection presented by the iPhone 15 seems to only function optimally with a certified cable.
Thus, not just any USB Type C cable can charge from this high-end cellphone.
According to Kuo, Apple will optimize fast-charging performance with USB-C on iPhone 15 models using certain of these certified cables.

Currently, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 support a maximum charging speed of up to 20W, while the Pro models support up to 27W.
As for the charging device, it must be purchased separately, considering that Apple no longer includes a power adapter in the cellphone purchase box.
It seems that something similar will be re-enforced on the iPhone 15, but what is different is the type C connection.
The move aligns with another report from tech leak ShrimpApplePro that says Apple is seeking MFi (Made for iPhone) certification for USB Type C accessories.
Without an MFi-certified cable, the device’s ability to charge is not optimal.
It is estimated that Apple will introduce the iPhone 15 in September 2023.
