Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen South China Wu Yanzu for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com February 28 news,@ mobile phone chip some time ago revealed that although Apple's next generation iPhone 15 / Pro/ Ultra series has been confirmed to adopt Type-C interface, but Apple has specially designed an IC chip suitable for Lightning&Type-C interface, will be used in this year's new iPhone and MFI certification products.

At that time, a large number of users doubted the authenticity of the message. After all, the iPad series that had already adopted Type-C interface could obviously use non-MFi certified Type-C accessories. But now more and more whistleblowers are choosing to believe it, after all, this MFI certification revenue is still very important to Apple.

According to @ShrimpApplePro, Apple will require MFi certification for products connected to the iPhone 15, and Foxconn is already mass-producing accessories with MFI certification, such as EarPods and USB-C data cables for this year's iPhone 15 series (CTOnews.com Note: Foxconn not only assembles the iPhone, but also produces accessories, and Lixun Precision has also entered the industry).

However, he also mentioned that some third-party MFi products will be cheaper than Apple's official products, and Apple is likely to limit data transfer rates and charging speeds without MFi certified connections. In addition, Apple's data cable is theoretically compatible with Android and other devices, after all, the fast charging principle is PD protocol.

Of course, although there is currently no evidence that the new iPhone will upgrade fast charging, it cannot be ruled out that MFI is paving the way for private agreements.

It is worth mentioning that, according to many explorers, although the new iPhone 15 series uses USB-C interface, but the Pro series USB-C interface is based on Thunderbolt Lightning Fast mode, and the two basic models are limited to USB 2.0 speed, so to experience faster USB-C interface can only be selected two Pro series.
