Why it is said that the iPhone 15 may be banned in Europe

According to a report by Die Zeit, EU industry commissioner Thierry Breton has stated that if the iPhone 15 tries to limit functions for unlicensed accessories, the iPhone could end up being banned for sale by European Union member states, something that it has been warned before.

Why it is said that the iPhone 15 may be banned in Europe

'Tom's Guide' writes that by now we have already heard several times that Apple is replacing the popular Lightning port on the next iPhone with the usual USB-C connector. This may simply be because Lightning was launched over 10 years ago and offers slow charging speeds, but it is also likely to be in response to the EU's obligation that all phones sold in the Union, since the end of 2024, will have to use USB-C ports.

Apple is also said to introduce a version of Made For iPhone (MFi), its licensing system for compatible accessories, on this rumored USB-C port. MFi currently allows, among other things, Lightning cables made by approved manufacturers to use the highest power and speed available, which are not available for non-Apple-stamped items.

The presence of MFi on the iPhone 15 is controversial, as some rumors say that Apple has ditched MFi after its switch to USB-C. But if Apple really does adapt MFi for a new era of cables, the European Union will surely have something to say about it.
