Will Apple limit iPhone 15 fast charging to its own accessories?

iPhone 15 smartphone

I'm as excited about the iPhone 15 as anyone, because we're expecting some significant upgrades to the hardware – especially in the iPhone 15 Pro model. But one of the changes could be a bit disappointing. According to industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the USB-C port that's replacing the Lightning ports of the iPhone 14 will support fast charging – but Apple may limit the feature to its own accessories and accessories from firms who pay for Made for iPhone certification.

That's a problem for two reasons. One, it means that any existing USB-C cables or USB-C chargers you've got won't let you charge at full speed if they're not Apple ones. And two, it means you'll have to pay more for your cables because Made For iPhone certification isn't free.
