iPhone 15 Series To Get USB Type-C port with Restrictions :

As per the latest report, Apple’s own version of the USB-C port will be getting an authenticator chip that helps Apple to persuade customers to buy only authentic iPhone peripherals. This simply means that iPhone 15 lineup will be compatible only with the Apple-approved accessories, this negates the supposed “universal” nature of the USB Type-C port on the next-gen iPhones.

This might not be liked by a lot of users and first time iPhone buyers, but this feature will actually assist Apple to thwart the harmful third-party accessories which can potentially damage the iPhone. And of course, it will ensure increased Apple branded accessory sales.

For the uninitiated, the current Apple iPad models feature a more standard USB Type-C port, as there are no IC chip in these for authentication. Hence, the upcoming iPhone 15 series will be the first to feature Apple’s own USB Type-C port.

As per another report by Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 15 series’ USB Type-C port will be limited to USB 2.0 speeds, similar to the Lightning port. However, the higher iPhone 15 Pro models are likely to get faster transfer speeds to mark a difference with the vanilla models. Hence, the actual difference between Apple’s current Lightning port and the new USB-C port for the iPhone 15 vanilla models would just mean a new look, as per reports.
