This is explained by the potential danger of overheating The iPhone 15 finally gets a USB-C port, something many have been waiting for. But after the start of sales, it became clear that everything with this function is very ambiguous. So, as it turned out, not all cables from famous brands are compatible with the iPhone 15, and now official Apple stores in China have even begun to dissuade users from using cables for Android smartphones with the iPhone 15.

Such recommendations caused a flurry of criticism against official Apple stores. Firstly, many have already been able to verify that their new iPhone 15 is compatible with third-party cables. Secondly, there is an opinion that in this way Apple persuades users to purchase original cables, which are much more expensive than third-party ones.

However, there are no such problems with USB-C cables from iQOO, OnePlus, Realme, and Redmi After the official start of sales of the iPhone 15 Pro in China, they decided to find out how compatible the new Apple device is with powerful chargers from local smartphone manufacturers. The test results turned out to be very interesting. [caption id="attachment_58955" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Huawei and Honor USB-C cables[/caption] Huawei and Honor USB-C cables do not charge the iPhone 15 Pro The following power supplies were tested: Vivo 120 W, iQOO 200 W, Oppo 100 W, OnePlus 160 W, Realme 240 W, Redmi 120 W, Huawei 88 W, Honor 100 W, Red Magic 165 W and Meizu 88 W. It turned out that the charging “cubes” of Vivo, iQOO, OnePlus, Realme, and Redmi support the PD 3.0 protocol, but when using an Oppo device you can only count on USB-DCP and a current of 1.5 A. That is, charging will be slow. What about Huawei and Honor chargers? At first, they refused to charge the iPhone 15 Pro. Experimentally, it was found that the problem is not in the “cubes” themselves, but in the cables: if you replace the original cable with an alternative one, then everything works. This moment caused heated discussions on the Internet in China. It is not yet clear exactly what the reason is: either Huawei and Honor use some proprietary protocols, or Apple does this. But in the context of the confrontation between Huawei and the United States, such restrictions on charging an American smartphone look at least symbolic.

For connecting old accessories The new iPhone 15 finally gets a USB-C port, although, without pressure from the European Union, the transition probably wouldn't have happened. But Lightning has been on the market for a very long time, which means that many people have a large collection of various accessories with this port. That's why Apple introduced a USB-C to Lightning adapter. [caption id="attachment_55425" align="alignnone" width="780"] iPhone 15 Pro Max[/caption] The product costs $30, it is available only in white, and its dimensions are unlikely to allow it to be used comfortably on an ongoing basis. However, the adapter is suitable not only for iPhones but also for iPads, which switched to USB-C a long time ago.
