iPhone 15 Pro with USB-C Could Replace Apple's MFi Licensing: Will iPhone 15 Pro Charge Faster?

According to leaker analyst941, Apple's typical certification restrictions may not apply to the USB-C port on the iPhone 15. If accurate, it would imply that using any cables or accessories would make it simpler to maximise the use of your iPhone. However, renowned leakers have differing opinions on this.

Apple will not, and has never planned to, add MFi certification to the charging port on the iPhone 15 series, according to 941's most recent assertion. Made for iPhone, or MFi, is Apple's programme for licensing third-party accessories. Unless the accessory manufacturer pays Apple, their gadgets won't function properly with devices like iPhones, Macs, iPads, etc.

Will Any USB-C cable be able to deliver complete charging?

Any USB-C cable, not just those made by Apple's partners, would be able to deliver complete charging and data transfer rates if Apple cancelled this programme for the new iPhones with USB-C ports. Users who already own a lot of cables would find this to be very helpful since they would otherwise have to buy new ones if they upgraded their iPhones.

The port itself is something that leakers agree upon. After over ten years of using Lightning connections, Apple's next-generation iPhones are said to get USB-C ports to speed up power and data transfer and comply with new EU regulations forcing mobile devices to utilise a standard connector. It will be fascinating to see if this plays into the tale in the future since the EU may also force Apple to discontinue MFi due to this rule.

Charging speed of the Apple iPhones

Speaking of charging speeds, they will rise for the new iPhone Pro models. The basic iPhone 15 (and likely the iPhone 15 Plus) will still reportedly support 20W cable charging, while the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will support up to 27W charging. If Apple verifies that the iPhone 15 Pro models have 27W charging, then more consumers can confidently charge their phones at full speed. The existing iPhone 14 Pro models charge quicker than they claimed 20W speeds.

Fastest charging speed of smartphones

The fastest the iPhone has ever charged at 27W is still slower than what the top smartphones can do. While other smartphones can trust at even higher rates, Samsung's Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra can. The OnePlus 11, for instance, charges at 80W (100W outside of the United States), enabling it to reach 97% of capacity in just 30 minutes when plugged in.

Conclusion

Since it is widely believed that Apple will unveil the iPhone 15 series in early September as it typically does, there is still a significant amount of waiting before it becomes available.
