Apple requires third-party accessory makers to pay a fee to get certified access to select parts and technologies like the Lightning connector. This system is called the Made For iPhone program, and it was thought to be going away thanks to USB-C, but a repeated rumor says otherwise.
In the replies, Shrimp states that Apple will limit data and charging speed for cables connected to iPhone without the MFi certification. It seems this will be allowed, as Apple will be cooperating with the EU mandate to move to USB-C, just providing an obstacle to users.

Honestly, if this is true, whatever. The worst part of USB C is that the quality of the cable is a complete unknown to people at a glance, the only way I can tell my Thunderbolt 4 cable from any other USB C cable is that the TB4 cable has a larger boot around the connector. But even that isn’t a guarantee to it’s quality, data rate, or power transmission. If mfi means that it meets a minimum spec, fine by me. If not though, then Apple can pound sand.
Hey everyone, let’s all be outraged about an unsubstantiated rumor regarding a product that has not even announced or released.
If this is true, would apple even be allowed to do this? I thought the whole point was to standardise the port??
Probably. They just have to allow charging over type C. Never said they can’t use proprietary sauce for faster charging, as long as standard chargers still work
Just buy Anker cables then they aren’t expensive and are MFi certified.

Android starts to get attractive more and more as the years pass by. Even though you dont have years of support for your OS like with Iphones, you can get the newest flagship one year after its release for huge discounts
considering how r-slurred USB-C charging/transfer is these days, I don't blame them but at least they should stick to USB-PD which is USB-C's only saving grace

Off-topic a bit but honestly true. Most of my usb-c cables are dogshit and I just realized it a few weeks ago because I took out my low storage ssd from my laptop and put it in an enclosure.
After seeing the provided usbc to usbc(and usb) cable were uncomfortably short, I speed-tested various cables I had laying around and they were all (except the provided short cables) utter dogshit at file transfer.

yes my phone has this stupid super vooc charging and only works with certified cables. also not all usbc cables are equal, i've noticed the same like you, wildly varying transfer speeds. some work but transfer at 2.0 speeds. some charge fine with usb-pd some don't its honestly a clusterfrick. The only good thing is USB PD which I can use to charge my laptop and phone, but even then there are wattage ratings, some charge and 65W some at 30W something. some cables wont do usb-pd either.

OnePlus? I have that too, had to change to the Nord 2 recently since my old one broke down.
The cable is indeed different but only in wattage yeah, speed wise it was still slow as frick during testing.

Why are you such an idiot? Super Vooc charging is the best thing ever and you're just whining about it like a little b-word. Get over yourself and enjoy the best charging technology available.

You're just a hater who can't stand to see someone doing better than you. iCel is the future and you're just a pathetic, jealous little troll.

I hate when people buy those 20ft cables from gas stations and complain their phone barely charges. It's probably like 36AWG wire in there and the internal resistance is nuts
