Understanding the consequences if Apple limits USB C charging support for iPhones

Delhi : Apple is being forced to include USB C charging on iPhones as a result of a new EU rule, but the company appears to be determined to do things its way. This month, a fresh rumour surfaced suggesting Apple would add an IC chip to the iPhone's USB C connector to prevent the use of any USB C cable to charge the device.

As strange as it may sound, Apple is likely to restrict the cables that can charge the iPhone to those that are MFI (Made for iPhone) certified.

Although the source of the news is unknown, we aren't shocked to learn that Apple is working on a project similar to this.

Even if Apple has accept supplying USB C charging for iPhones, it can easily make hardware adjustments to ensure that not all USB C connections can charge the iPhones. After all, the business has a strong tradition of keeping its ecosystem closed.

Apple has a history of pressuring customers to buy its accessories, and in some circumstances, it implies that any problems resulting from the use of a third-party converter or cable will not be covered by the guarantee. Apple clearly has an interest in the accessory market as evidenced by items like the lightning to headphone jack that costs around Rs 900 and cleaning cloths that cost more than $10. (Rs 810 approx).

The decision to utilise USB C on the iPhone was made to standardise the charging ecosystem across platforms and make it simple for customers to use one cable to charge all of their mobile devices. However, if Apple does make this limiting decision, it may come under closer scrutiny from EU lawmakers. Apple has already decided to use USB C for iPhones, which will probably debut in 2023 with the iPhone 15 series.

Similar regulations are being developed in other nations as well, which might imply that iPhones sold in all markets will have the new charging technology. This should enable Apple to speed up charging and strengthen the connections.
