Due to the requirements of the European Union, Apple may prepare to launch the iPhone 15 series this year and switch to the USB-C port design, but it seems possible that it will propose an MFI certification mode for the Lightning port in the past. If peripheral accessories that have not obtained relevant certification, It may not work properly with newer phones.
related newsIt is alleged that although Apple will start to use the USB-C port in the new machine, it may still require the accessory industry to manufacture products that meet the MFI certification, so as to ensure that it can be used normally on the new machine. In order to ensure the normal operation of peripheral accessories, Apple will add a self-designed control chip to the new machine. Once it detects the connection of an accessory that does not meet the MFI certification design, it will display an unsupported prompt message on the screen.
However, Apple currently does not introduce its own control chip design into the USB-C ports used in iPad Pro and iPad series models, so even if the connected accessories do not meet the MFI certification, they can still be used normally.
At present, it is impossible to confirm the impact of Apple’s introduction of MFI certification to iPhone models that replace the USB-C port. Among them, functions such as fast charging and faster data transmission may not be available, but it should still allow users to use the minimum amount of time. Use connection accessories.
As previously stated, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus (tentative name) that are replaced with USB-C ports may only maintain the USB 2.0 specification design, and only the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models will be equipped with faster charging and data transmission Speed, just like the USB-C port of the iPad Pro is additionally equipped with Thunderbolt transmission technology, while the iPad Air and iPad only correspond to relatively low transmission speeds.
