iPhone15 series may require dedicated charging cable

A month later, Apple's new autumn event this year will be held on 12 September 2023, in the same pre-recorded format as last year.

Among them, the new iPhone 15 series is naturally the focus of the most attention, and it is no surprise that the series will continue to launch four models containing the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and the higher-end than ever iPhone 15 Ultra, which will bring upgrades to varying degrees, including USB-C ports that will be standard across the board.

But the new USB-C port introduced in the Apple 15 is most likely not to work with other brands' USB-C ports. And now there is an update that someone has recently brought further details about the machine in terms of the new port.

Majin Bu tweeted that iPhone 15 buyers may still need to purchase an official USB-C charging cable, which incorporates a special "3LD3" chip that pairs with iOS and restricts users from charging with compatible accessories.

“You can see the packaged chip on the iPhone 15 series. The model is 3LD3. Because it is a self-designed chip, the function cannot be judged by the model. Judging from the same type of plastic packaged chips in the past, it may be the setting of transmission encryption. pic.twitter.com/YSM1guM3n9”

One of the changes to the new iPhone 15 series will be the introduction of USB-C ports to meet the requirements of the EU and other regions. However, as previously revealed by various parties, the USB-C port used in this series can not be used in conjunction with the Type-C cable used in regular Android phones, but you still need to purchase an official USB-C cable, allegedly because Apple has added a special "3LD3" chip inside, which is paired with iOS. This is because Apple has added a special "3LD3" chip to the cable that pairs with iOS, which in turn restricts users from charging with compatible accessories. There are also rumours that this is just a security measure, possibly for encrypted transfers to improve the security of data transfers.
