iPhone 15 is getting USB Type-C port, but you may strictly need an MFI certified cable

Rumors are rife that Apple is fully moving to a USB Type-C port this year for its iPhone 15 lineup. This means users should be finally able to use Android’s Type-C cable with their iPhones. Well, that’s what everyone thought, but it’s Apple after all and things may not be as simple as they sound.

As per a new leak straight from China, Apple is working on iPhone 15’s charging interface and it will likely support MFI-certified Type-C cables. What does this mean? let’s find out.

Apple may launch MFI-certified Type-C cable for iPhones

Apple currently uses the lightning port on all of its iPhones which requires MFI-certified lightning cables in order to charge and transfer data.

Reportedly, Apple is now working on a Type-C charging interface for the iPhone 15 lineup and it may require users to use MFI-certified Type-C cables. This means the usual Type-C cables to charge Android phones may not work.

After asking for years, Apple may finally offer a Type-C port for charging, but at what cost?

A Type-C port is not the only thing that Apple is bringing with the new iPhones. This year’s iPhone 15 series is expected to come with a new chipset, likely the Apple A17 Bionic. The top-of-the-line model is said to feature a periscope lens.

Furthermore, the iPhone 15 Pro models will come with solid-state buttons and titanium built. Dynamic island will retain in the new Pro models.

Apart from this, the iPhone 15 is expected to feature a 6.1-inch display, while the iPhone 15 Plus will have a 6.7-inch panel. The higher-end models, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will have 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays, respectively.

In related news, Mark Gurman has revealed that Apple may finally bring an ‘Ultra’ premium iPhone next year. The iPhone Ultra or iPhone 16 Ultra, whatever Apple plans to call it, is said to have better cameras, an even larger display, and maybe a portless design.
