Apple this year, three new machines for the first time to support USB PD fast charge, with USB PD charger and USB-C to Lightning data cable can be achieved.Users want to experience fast charge, buy the official fast charge package cost nearly 600 yuan.
Although there are many more affordable third-party USB PD charger as a substitute, but on the USB-C to Lightning data cable, because Apple is not open certification, only the official value of up to 188 yuan of the original line optional, third-party certification The data line is very loud.
The good news is that this line has finally come: Recently, the charge head network was informed of a suspected Apple to MFi partners open USB-C to Lightning authorized mail, the message that the first quarter of 2018 is expected to open the third quarter of the third party certification Once the certification is open, it will greatly reduce the price threshold for fast filling parts, fast charge package is expected to down to 100 yuan price.
Mail that, according to Apple's data show, The new Lightning connector and USB-C to Lightning data lines will be available in 2018.
The new Lightning connector (CXX) and the current connector C48 size, but the difference is that it supports high-power fast charging, C48 is not supported, so only USB-C to Lightning (CXX) support fast charge.
Apple USB-C to Lightning (CXX) can obtain PPID (Product Plan ID), PPID is an important part of the application for MFi certification, and USB-C to Lightning (C48) is uncertain whether to obtain.
As for the time, the PPID application for the USB-C to Lightning data line will be open at the end of the first quarter of 2018, but it will not be guaranteed that all companies will be able to get the PPID, or only a few companies will be able to obtain it.
We have learned about the credibility of this message Apple MFi authorized manufacturers to actively communicate with Apple original open licensing issues, Apple is given the answer is currently supporting the fast charge of the Lightning connector capacity, can not meet the demand for shipments. Therefore, the above mentioned openness of the credibility is still relatively high.
November Apple will be held in Shenzhen, China MFi summit, then I believe the official will reveal more relevant information it.
