The iPhone 15 is strongly expected to adopt USB-C and an earlier word from an Apple executive further confirmed this news. Now a new leak has once again pointed to the possibility of a USB-C port on this year's iPhone but this will come with some limitations that may not be liked by many. Take a look at the details.

A Weibo user has revealed that Apple will introduce an integrated circuit board for the USB-C port of the iPhone 15. This will limit the port's compatibility with all accessories and will only work well with MFI (Made for iPhone/iPad) certified accessories.

If a non-MFI certified accessory is connected, the message "This accessory is not supported" will appear because they do not come with an IC. The inclusion of an IC also ensures that users have genuine cables and other accessories to connect to their iPhones. Apple products like iPad, Mac and more with USB-C do not come with the integrated chip so if this information turns out to be true, it would be a first for Apple.

So even if Apple is willing to use USB-C for its iPhones (which should be a standard for devices in 2024 and in India in 2025), they may want to limit the accessories that come into contact with it. The post also suggests that the IC will be Lightning compatible, meaning the iPhone 15 will continue to support lightning cables, making it easier for Apple to comply with EU law and have its own way as well.
