A noted leaker has reported that while iPhone 15 15 will have a USB-C port that complies with the EU's mandate, Apple will rely on the MFi certification to ensure full capability. This means that non-certified cables and power adapters are likely to have charging and data transfer limits.
ShrimpApplePro, the leaker, has previous correctly disclosed the Dynamic Island and the iPhone 14's RAM increase, which means many believe their information are based in truth and integrity. Their report comes following speculation from Ming-Chi Kuo, who analyses supply chains and has been a centerpiece in the iPhone USB-C conversation, Gizmodo reports.
Kuo took to Twitter in November to inform followers that iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus would have a USB 2.0 transfer speed at most, which matches the current Apple Lightning standard. He added that the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max will be quicker with USB-C 3.2 and Thunderbolt 3 speeds.
