Apple Reportedly Planning to Limit iPhone 15's USB-C Port Same Way as Lightning

- malshe 4y agoThey are not "reportedly planning" this. The source of this story is "a rumor shared on Weibo." Let's keep our pitchforks ready for the time when Apple actually introduces this.
- Laaas 4y agoDoes anyone have a link to the original source? Edit: https://m.weibo.cn/u/1833340431?&jumpfrom=weibocom https://m.weibo.cn/u/1833340431?&jumpfrom=weibocom
- joshstrange 4y agoMing-Chi Kuo has a pretty solid track record when it comes to hardware and this really bothers me. I was/am an apologist for the long run of lightning (where long = almost exactly what they predicted, 10 years) but if we go to USB-C and keep the USB 2.0 speeds I'll be pretty angry (even if the Pro phones aren't limited which are the ones I always buy). The sad this is I completely believe Apple will do this since they did the same thing with the 10th-generation iPad . I love my Apple hardware but I can't help feel like Apple has lost it's way on cost-cutting measures like this as well as it's software quality. I still believe they are the best available but that could change if they continue on their current course.
- asplake 4y agoDumb q: Is authenticated USB-C still USB-C? Does the spec allow it? Provide for it? Not care?
- znpy 4y agoMost likely no. I wonder if apple could be brought to court over this (i hope so).
- dogma1138 4y agoMost definitely yes, as long as the device can be charged over a type-c port that is all that is required to meet the regulation. There is absolutely no requirement for interoperability for things like fast charging or even supporting actual USB specs like PD.
- znpy 4y agoI hope the EU fines the hell out if apple if something like this happens.
