Reply to comment by Ducallan in iPhone 15 USB-C Accessories to Have Limited Data and Charging Speeds Without Apple's MFi Certification by ExternalUserError

I would be OK if Apple adhered to USB-C and USB-PD standards but had a voluntary "MFI" approval process to ensure that a third party cable will get max charging speeds and data rates for your iPhone.

At the moment you have no clue what a certain cable is capable of.

How is this not what Apple already does?

No, with MFI you get a warning if the cable isn't MFI certified.

But how does Apple earn money from it?

By charging companies to use the license? Such as anker & Belkin.
