iPhone blocks third-party data cables

We all know that in Apple's profit system accounted for, although the iPhone occupies a relatively large part of the iPhone some accessories also contribute to Apple is not small, such as the data line each year for Apple has contributed to a considerable amount of profit, and not only sell their own data line, but also authorized third-party sales, but want to join the Apple accessories supplier camp, the difficulty can be not small, need to undergo a rigorous examination before having the The opportunity to be selected.

Once selected by Apple, the third-party data cable provided by the accessory provider must strictly comply with Apple MFI standards, due to the need to pay Apple a huge authorization fee and the strict requirements on the use of materials, resulting in MFI-certified data cables are more expensive, so a variety of cracked iPhone torrents all over the place, and recently there is a news that Apple will be the iPhone torrents to take the most severe blocking.

According to the news of the domestic charging head network, before has been provided to third-party USB-A to lightning connector using the C48A, C48B, C48C connector, has been at the end of last month began a gradual production stopping program, and will be July 31 this year completely stop supply, which means that the third party to provide the use of many years of the C48 series of connectors will be formally withdrawn from the stage of history! That is to say the follow-up cottage manufacturers for the connector with the crack will become meaningless.

Of course, the old connector exit, the use of more encryption measures of the new connector will also be officially debut, and Apple will also be subdivided in this area, the data cable will be divided into 2 versions, the use of the C89 connector for the regular version, the use of the C94 connector for the fast-charging version, it is not clear for the time being, Apple in the end a one-time authorization or will be divided into versions of the authorization.

Some people may be using a new connector of the lightning cable is not thought, that it is difficult to defeat the crack god of Huaqiang North, but Apple this time is determined to block the cottage cable, and the possibility of being cracked in the short term is almost non-existent, because the C94 connector and the same encryption algorithm as the Bitcoin, if you can crack the connector, then theoretically can also crack the Bitcoin, and the Bitcoin. It can be seen how difficult it is.

Not only is the encryption algorithm updated, C94 connector internal process is also greatly enhanced, using an integrated one-piece design and one-piece package, not to mention cracked, even the possibility of recycling is basically eliminated, I can only say that Apple this time in order to kill cottage data line, the hand is really a little bit hard.

More seriously, this data cable connector upgrade involves almost all of Apple's product lines, that is, Apple hopes to one-time all Apple cottage data cable "cut out all", can be called the bottom of the payroll type of approach. For ordinary users, the future purchase of Apple data cable without MFI certification should be careful, may buy back to use it will not be long before the failure.
