As we all know, MFi certification is an authorized standard for charging accessories produced by Apple.
Manufacturers who have obtained MFi certification and authorization will also produce charging accessories products that meet Apple's performance standards, so as to obtain the "golden signboard" in the market.
With the MFi certification, Apple has made a lot of money in recent years, and it is also a big part of Apple's revenue.
And just recently, Apple quietly opened up an MFi authentication permission, which provides more convenience for multi-device users.
According to the well-known testing agency Hongbiao, after testing, Apple has opened the MFi certification permission for USB-C female adapter to Lightning accessories.
This means that the all-in-one data cable that was once "dominant" is finally going to see the light of day.

For early smartphone users, they should be familiar with all-in-one data cables.
In fact, before fast charging technology was applied on iPhones, all-in-one data cables became a favorite among multi-device users.
Since there are no charging limitations, a single cable is all you need to power Micro USB, USB-C, and Lighting ports at the same time.
However, as the iPhone began to introduce fast charging technology, Apple has been slow to open MFi certification for USB-C female adapter to Lightning accessories.
This also means that the user's all-in-one cable can't fast charge the iPhone, and this kind of cable has been forgotten by everyone since.
And with Apple's recent opening of the certification authorization for USB-C female adapter to Lightning accessories, it is undoubtedly a good thing for multi-device users.

Currently, Apple has replaced the USB-C port for the iPhone 15 series, while other older iPhone models still use the Lightning connector.
For those who own both iPhone 15 and other iPhone models, PD full speed charging for different iPhone models is now possible with a single all-in-one cable.
A line to go all over the world is just around the corner.
It should be noted that the current all-in-one data cable spliced through the adapter only supports USB-C to Lightning use, and does not support the old USB-A interface.

Over time, Apple is also gradually moving forward with an open-door policy for iPhone charging.
The most intuitive is undoubtedly the Qi2 wireless charging standard that Apple has introduced for several iPhone models in recent months.
Last year, Apple announced the addition of the Qi2 standard, which has since been introduced for iPhone 15 / 14 / 13 series models.
Then, with the iOS 17.4 update, Apple recently brought support for the Qi2 standard to the iPhone 12 series.
This means that these models can also charge at up to 15W when using a wireless charger based on the Qi2 standard.

At the same time, third-party Qi2 wireless chargers are usually cheaper than Apple's official MagSafe chargers.
For ordinary users, such an open policy is undoubtedly what everyone likes to see.
Of course, judging from the outside world's voices, in addition to lifting the charging certification restrictions, many users still hope that Apple can further increase the charging rate of the iPhone.
After all, it's not a day or two that Apple users covet the super fast charging of the Android camp.
