Finally, iPhone 15 charging is lifted

 

As we all know, the business of product accessories has always been an important part of Apple's revenue.

Judging from the latest financial report released by Apple this year, in the last quarter alone, the revenue from wearable devices/home/accessories accounted for 9.2% of the total revenue.

Even this revenue will overwhelm Apple's other two leading products, the Mac and iPad, which is of great significance to Apple.

But with the passage of time, this piece of fat that people are jealous of may be given up by Apple.

Some time ago, the charging head network sent a message that Apple would lift a major restriction.

Simply put, even wireless chargers without MFM certification can provide the iPhone 15 series with a wireless fast charging rate of up to 15W.

Recently, its brother media ChargerLAB once again confirmed the news and provided more details.

Speaking of which, since iPhone 8 Apple first opened the wireless charging function, the upgrade of the wireless charging rate has been very slow.

Even since the iPhone 12 series, Apple has introduced MagSafe technology to increase the wireless charging rate to a more efficient 15W.

But for wireless chargers that do not pass MFM certification, the rate of charging the iPhone will also be limited to between 5W and 7.5W.

Now, according to ChargerLAB, the iPhone 15 series is likely to support two wireless charging protocols, the original MagSafe and the latest third-party Qi2 standard.

All devices that support the Qi2 standard support wireless charging rates up to 15W.

The Qi2 wireless standard was officially released by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) in January this year

As a new generation of magnetic wireless charging standard, Qi2 can make the transmission rate reach a higher level through stronger magnetic attraction and magnet size.

According to the board of directors list on WPC's official website, Apple is also among them.

Combined with the news sent by ChargerLAB, this means that Apple will give up the income brought by MFM certification and provide users with a more open charging accessories ecosystem.

At the same time, for users, we can also buy the charging rate is not limited, and the price is lower iPhone wireless charger.

ChargerLAB confirmed from the supply chain that the wholesale price of Apple MagSafe modules is about US $16 (about 113 yuan), which basically accounts for the main cost of third-party production of accessories.

Relatively speaking, the price of the new Qi2 wireless charging module is less than one-third of that of MagSafe.

It is foreseeable that with the popularization of the Qi2 standard, cheaper and faster charging wireless charging accessories will appear on the market in the future.

Subsequently, Apple's accessories will gradually embrace the USB-C interface, and the old Lightning will be completely eliminated.

Apple's ultimate goal is naturally to vigorously develop wireless technology.

And after the technology matures, the interface-free iPhone is officially launched.

Judging from this series of actions by Apple, I believe that we are not too far from the real interface-free iPhone.

Of course, in Apple's consistent style, wireless chargers are likely not to be randomly included.
