So why might Apple cripple the MacBook Air? It’s the power of the MacBook Pro that allows it to perform tasks faster, and more ports aren’t required to utilize that internal power. Ethernet: check (if Wi-Fi not available or allowed).Keyboard and mouse (or trackball): check.The reality is that when a mobile MacBook of some kind is brought back to the home or office and hooked up, the things it has to connect to remain in common. Very roughly: But Apple would have us believe that, somehow, four USB-C ports on a MacBook Pro is solely a pro feature and lesser Macs, say, a MacBook Air deserves fewer ports. The power of a pro-level computer resides in its graphics power, CPU power, RAM and memory bus speed. This crippling is all very callous and manipulative by Apple. The trouble is, we all do the same things with ports on a MacBook Air which only has two ports. However, that might not be the case.Apple puts four USB-C Ports on a MacBook Pro to make us believe that it’s a “pro” machine. It was hoped Apple’s EU-mandated switch to USB-C might help users adjust to a universal standard. The iPhone giant has long argued that these measures help protect users against dodgy or counterfeit cables, but it should be noted that the company gets a cut of those Made for iPhone products, which interface with a chip in the port itself. Only the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models will get faster transfer speeds.Īs a result, the only major difference between Lightning and USB-C on the standard iPhone 15 models could simply be the physical shape of the connector.
If true, this might mean that future third-party USB-C iPhone cables will have to be certified under the Made for iPhone program to fully support features like fast charging, data transfer, etc.Īccording to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the USB-C port on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will remain limited to USB 2.0 speeds – the same as Lightning.
The information came to light on a Weibo post when a user claimed that Apple has created a bespoke version of the USB-C standard for its next-generation phones. Apple’s upcoming USB-C ports and cables for this year’s iPhone 15 will feature a a Lightning-like authenticator chip, potentially limiting their functionality with Apple-unapproved accessories.
