Apple Warns of Permanent iPhone 15 Damage From Cheap USB-C Chargers

Recommends Buying Directly From Apple!

The brand new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models will be released this month on 22nd September.

iPhone’s capable Pro model smartphone will be able to play games like Resident Evil 4 and Assassin’s Creed Mirage natively, and among other additions, Apple’s switch to the industry standard USB-C port is a headlining feature of its new smartphones.

Even though the USB-C port on the new Apple devices is now compatible with other Type-C cables, users should avoid using the wrong USB-C connector. Apple warns this may damage the iPhone 15 models.

Why it matters: The iPhone 15 lineup starts at $799, making it a significant investment for users. Therefore, it is best to avoid lower-quality chargers with the devices.

iPhone 15 Type C

As reported by The New York Times, it is recommended to use Apple-branded chargers or Type-C cables from other brands that meet Apple’s safety regulations.

This standard is known as MFi certification, and Apple states that third-party chargers or cables without MFi certifications could lead to fewer protections for your brand-new Apple device.

The report explains that high-quality chargers are integral to ensuring a long life for any electronic device, elaborating that Apple’s official lightning cable comes with two chips.

One of these is used for authentication, while the other acts as a fuse to isolate any damage to the charger. This ensures that a scenario like power fluctuation limits damage to the charger and saves the iPhone device.

However, this may not be the case for cheaper USB-C chargers readily available on the market. Investing in low-quality chargers may be beneficial in the short term but could lead to expensive repairs in the long run.

Therefore, Apple recommends using a charger manufactured by it or conducting thorough research before purchasing one from a third party. Users can also consult the Apple MFi program to buy verified third-party chargers from trusted brands.

The MFi(Made for iPhone) certification ensures chargers pass all the required rules and regulations from Apple, leading to minimal risk to iPhone 15 devices, as they can protect devices from high-voltage outlets.

This may not be the case for cheaper chargers. However, it is best to avoid such outlets altogether.
