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

> Device-side connector: the included devices would have to be equipped with a USB-C receptacle on the device side (as described in the European standard EN IEC 62680-1-3:2021) and, in cases of charging power lower than 60 watts, be rechargeable with cables that complied with the same standard (new annex Ia, part I). > > Charging communication protocol: the devices should incorporate the USB Power Delivery (USB PD) standard (as described in the European standard EN IEC 62680-1- 2:2021) and ensure that any additional charging protocols allow for full USB PD functionality (new annex Ia, part I).

From the February 2023 EU legislation document.

What about what they're doing violates either of these? If non-MFI cables still allow USB PD compliant charging under 60 watts wouldn't Apple still be in compliance?

You're asking what would apple violate if they adhere to the guidelines in a comment for a post that is suggesting apple will not adhere to the guidelines?

People are assuming Apple won't adhere to the guidelines. I'm just pointing out that from what I can tell Apple can at the same time restrict higher charging speeds to MFI cables AND obey the European rules for USB-C connectors on devices.
