After this possible update made by Apple, users have shown some concern. For them, the company could use the MFi standard to limit features like fast charging and high-speed data transfer to unofficial cables.
Because what users were believing is precisely what can happen. The profile AppleShrimpPro, a brand on Twitter that leaks information, said: cables without MFi will have software limited in data and charging speed.
He added that mass production of MFi accessories is already taking place at Foxconn.
But, after all, what is the MFi certificate?
First, let's understand what this certificate is about. MFi is a certification created by Apple and it uses the authenticator chip to encourage the purchase of original accessories, but it also serves to help customers not to be deceived by products counterfeit and dangerous.
How does the company benefit?
Through this program, the company begins to receive commissions on each certified accessory. Customers now have more security when purchasing a safe and good quality product.
For analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the USB-C port of the next iPhone models launched by Apple will have limited transfer speeds. You can already expect these updates on the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, which will only be compatible with Lightning/USB 2.0.
In contrast, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max models would have faster transfer speeds.
