Apple’s iPhone 15 lineup is said to be the first from the company to transition from Lightning to USB-C, a hardware switch that will happen before the EU’s mandate. This would mean consumers would no longer have to purchase and carry around two separate charging accessories, but there is still a possibility that you will have to acquire an official Apple cable, courtesy of the latest leak. The new iPhones’ USB-C flex cables got a closer look, showing a special ‘3LD3’ chip that may force customers to purchase compatible accessories.
On X, Majin Bu has shared more USB-C flex cables that he claims belong to the iPhone 15 series. While we have reported about this internal component before, our interest was piqued in the thread that followed when he started talking about the special 3LD3 chip that Apple apparently designed. Unfortunately, the model number of the chip does not disclose its functionality, but the tipster says that according to chips that were packaged in the past, its primary function might revolve around ‘transmission encryption.’
The terms used in the post suggest that Apple might be using this chip and the iOS pairing to limit the charge received by all iPhone 15 models. However, Majin Bu states that all USB-C cables should be compatible with Apple’s future devices as it is required by EU law, so perhaps all regions governed by the European Union might allow it. However, this limitation may be practiced in other markets, which do follow any mandate set by the EU, forcing customers to purchase official Apple USB-C cables to charge the iPhone 15.

To remind you, with Apple removing the proprietary Lightning port, it can no longer earn royalties from accessory manufacturers, so the only way to regain that lost revenue is to force customers to pick up USB-C cables that will only work with the iPhone 15. It is still entirely possible that the ‘3LD3’ chip is just a security measure to prevent hackers from stealing important data when plugging in an iPhone 15’s USB-C port, meaning that every other cable can still work with those upcoming models.

The iPhone 14 might have lost out on getting any major new features, but the iPhone 15 is expected to get some major upgrades over its predecessor. From a rumored Dynamic Island to a 48MP primary rear camera, the standard model of iPhone 15 likely has a lot in store for fans. But the biggest question that many have is whether all these upgrades can result in a price hike. And if it does, what could the price for the iPhone 15 be? Ahead of the Apple event on September 12, we take a look at the leaks and see what the expected price of the smartphone could be.

The most awaited Apple launch date has finally been announced and fans are all excited about the introduction of the iPhone 15 series. This year, the event has an interesting tagline “Wonderlust”, which is creating a buzz among the people who are planning to buy the new generation of iPhone. Ahead of the actual iPhone 15 launch event, we have come across various leaks and rumours about the iPhone's specs, design, camera, etc. So, let's recall some of the rumoured camera specs of the iPhone 15 that may actually be announced during the launch.
Apple has finally announced the dates for the Apple event where it will launch its new iPhone 15 series. It is expected that there will be four variants of the new generation smartphone: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Along with the iPhones, it is also rumoured that the company will launch its new Apple Watch 9 series and the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The launch event is scheduled for September 12. Check out the speculated specs of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
In the five years since Bethesda Softworks first announced Starfield, much of the conversation has been focused on the endless possibilities that await players within the game’s web of planets and choices. There’s complex character and personality creation, a spectrum of geography all tricked out with the latest lighting and physics technology, customizable spaceships and space teams from highly dimensional NPCs, and loads of other bells and whistles to take advantage of the current generation of consoles.
With the iPhone 15 series, Apple is expected to make the shift to USB Type-C, getting rid of the Lightning port which has been present on its iPhones for a decade, beginning with the iPhone 5. This move seems to be out of necessity and not by choice, as the latest EU regulation stipulates that all devices are required to have USB Type-C as the standard connector, in an effort to reduce e-waste. A few days ago, it was reported that Apple would be limiting the charging speed of the standard iPhone 15 models, and potential buyers would have to buy Apple-certified cables to take advantage of maximum charging speeds.
After years of neglecting USB Type-C in favour of its proprietary lightning port, Apple is all set to bring this technology to its iPhones. Starting with the iPhone 15 series, USB Type-C will become standard on all iPhones, and potentially all devices due to EU legislation that requires adopting USB Type-C as the standard method of charging on all devices in an effort to reduce the e-waste that is caused by various types of proprietary chargers. With this move, users won't have to purchase different cables for separate devices and the USB Type-C would follow the ‘One size fits all' approach.
Fallout's upcoming TV show in production at Amazon Prime is probably one of the leakiest projects known to man. Several images of the set, locations, and other info have leaked on a fairly regular basis over the past year, so it's no real surprise that the show's first official sneak peek/teaser trailer has also made it onto the Internet well before Amazon itself was ready to show the thing off.
A new leak of Starfield footage have given fans an early peek of what the game will be like when we finally get to play it two weeks from now.
Whether in the incest themes in Otacon's backstory or the series' overall leering approach to women, Metal Gear Solid is no stranger to controversy. Noting this, Konami has seen fit to include a content warning in the opening of each of the major games in the collection, which include Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2, and Metal Gear Solid 3 as well as versions of the original 8-bit games.
Get ready for some exciting changes with the upcoming iPhone 15! We've heard that the iPhone 15 will come with a special USB-C port for charging. Now, we've got a sneak peek at something as interesting: the new iPhone 15 USB Type-C charging cable.
