Apple's iPhone 15 Pro series concerns have arisen regarding the use of non-Apple USB Type-C charging cables with these cutting-edge smartphones.
While Apple has embraced USB Type-C technology in its latest flagship devices.
A report from a Chinese Apple reseller in Foshan City, Guangdong Province, has cautioned users against employing Android USB Type-C cables to charge their iPhone 15 Pro models due to potential heating issues.
Apple enthusiasts worldwide were delighted with the introduction of the iPhone 15 Pro series at the 'Wanderlust' event on September 13.
These high-end smartphones feature several significant upgrades compared to their predecessors, with one notable change being the adoption of USB Type-C charging ports, aligning Apple's approach with several Android counterparts.
However, the cautionary note from the Chinese Apple reseller has raised eyebrows.
The report from CNMO highlights the store's recommendation to iPhone users to steer clear of Android USB Type-C cables when charging their devices, citing concerns about potential overheating and device damage.
Some observers have speculated whether this warning is a ploy to encourage users to purchase Apple's official charging cables, potentially boosting the company's revenue.
It's worth noting that Apple's official support page does state that USB Type-C standard cables can be used to charge the new iPhone 15 Pro series.
The USB Type-C port introduced in the iPhone 15 Pro series is designed to deliver a significant power boost, providing 15 times more power than the previous Lightning port's 0.3W output.
Apple includes a USB 2-compatible cable in the box when purchasing an iPhone 15 Pro, ensuring basic charging needs are met.
For users seeking faster data transfer speeds, Apple offers the option to purchase a USB 3-compatible cable through their online, offline, and reseller stores.
