The Apple brand store in Fushan, China, recommended that iPhone 15 users do not charge the new product from Android devices with USB-C cables to prevent smartphones from overheating and being damaged. In this respect reports Chinese edition of CNMO.
The store’s recommendation is based on differences in the USB-C pinout used on iPhones and Android smartphones. According to Apple Store representatives in Fushan, using an Android cable may cause the device to overheat and further damage the device due to the reduced gap between the cable contacts.
Similar warnings soon appeared online from representatives of other Apple stores in China. Netizens believe that these warnings are Apple’s attempt to promote the sale of branded chargers, the price of which is significantly higher than cables from other manufacturers.
