Insider: iPhone 15 with USB-C will get fast charging, but only with original cables
Fast charging in new smartphones will only work with certified accessories. This is reported by the publication 9to5Mac.
As it became known to authoritative insider Ming-Chi Ko, a USB-C connector will appear in the iPhone 15 series devices. However, smartphones will have a limitation. In particular, the fastest charging will only work when using certified accessories.
Ko explained that in order to get maximum performance, the owner of the device will need to use not only the original adapter, but also a certified USB-C cable. Otherwise, the charging speed will be limited.
