Gotta love apple fans of the type that would post on apple insider being all upset about possibly having to pay more for certified cables. I don't know, I've had a lot of trouble with USB-C cables already. Even devices that came with their own cable (some expensive) that turn out to be flaky cables. If you're spending the big bucks on Apple stuff why not get certified cables.

I don't think that experience is universal. I bought lots of usbc cables from lots of different places and haven't had this issue. But I have bought cables certified for a certain amount of power etc. There is a huge danger in letting Apple get away with this ridiculous certified cable nonsense. It's just another money train for them. I hope the EU says it's a violation of their rules and that triggers them dropping this terrible idea.

  This is just a rumor. Apple doesn't do this for iPads. Why would they do it for iPhones?

    To get more money.bthey will have a big revenue loss from dropping lightning for an open standard cable otherwise.

I use regular old USB-C cables with all my Apple devices. Only my iPhone still uses Lightning. The notion that Apple is going to introduce a policy change at the last minute just for the iPhone is really weird.
