The need for this MFI certification shows that Apple will put Limits on USB-C cables for iPhone 15. Therefore, the big apple will succumb to pressure to remove Lightning from the iPhone, but USB-C will not have an easy time. the analyst Ming Chi Kuo ensures that the iPhone 15 will limit charging devices just like the iPhone 14 already does, but in this case with a correct head (20W in the standard ones, 27W in the Pro models).

Kuo assures that faster USB-C charges will only come with MFI-certified cables from Apple. That is, the charging of the iPhone 15 will be limited in the event that we do not use an official cable or authorized by the apple. And beyond charging, there may be limitations on data transfer speeds as well. Everything remains to be seen.
