At Least Charging Is Not Affected Apple Usb-C Encryption By The EU Stick | KET

2023-03-28    From the latest news, you do not have to worry too much, Apple's MFI certification affects mainly the performance of data transmission, in charging is probably not affected, as long as the use of chargers supporting PD protocol and Cto C data cable, then the charging speed and Apple's official standard will not be different.

　　Apple iPhone 15 series will all switch to the USB-C interface, but Apple will encrypt the new interface, only the use of MFI-certified data cable, in order to carry out data transfer. For this approach of Apple, the majority of consumers said very speechless, change the interface is still unable to universal connection cable, and even people have to pay extra money to buy new data cable.

　　From the latest news, we do not have to worry too much, Apple's MFI certification is mainly affected by the performance of data transmission, in the charging is probably not affected, as long as the use of chargers supporting PD protocol and Cto C data cable, then the charging speed and Apple's official standard is not different.

　　The original intention of the EU side to unify the interface is for environmental considerations. The EU side hopes that through regulations, consumers will reduce the unnecessary purchase of additional chargers and data cables, and everyone can meet the fast charging of all devices with a standard set of chargers + connecting cables.

　　Therefore, the EU side of the USB-C interface is a technical specification, if the charging voltage is higher than 5V or the current is higher than 3A, it needs to follow the USB PD specification. In other words, if Apple passes the MFI certification to card charging power, then it will violate the EU regulations.

　　But the EU does not have technical specifications on data transfer, Apple can continue to make a big deal of the USB-C interface MFI certification through this loophole. Consumers in the iPhone 15 series, the probability that you can use the Android phone data cable to get fast charging support, but can not be through the Android data cable for data transfer.
