Owners of the following iPhone models with USB-C will not be able to use the full functionality of the connector when connected via a non-original cable. This was reported by the MacRumors portal, citing its own sources.
In particular, data transfer and charging speeds will be limited – they will correspond to those available on current Lightning connectors. When connecting non-original wires, a warning will be displayed on the screen that this accessory is not supported. The verification will be carried out using special chips that will be equipped with cables from Apple.
In early October, the European Union adopted a law on a single connector for electronic devices. For most gadgets, it will come into force in the fall of 2024 and will oblige manufacturers to equip their devices with USB-C only.
