Although the USB-C interface looks exactly the same, there may be differences in the charger. On September 25, # Actually Test Apple Cannot Use Huawei Charger # became a hot search topic. The Apple iPhone 15 series was officially launched on September 22, and the Lightning interface of all series was changed to support USB-C port. After getting the new phone, some netizens found that the charger with Huawei USB-A port in their hand could not charge Apple mobile phones, while other domestic brand chargers such as Xiaomi or Oppo had no problem.

Some analysts pointed out that this is because some of Huawei's chargers and charging cables do not support the Power Delivery (PD) fast charging protocol. Only chargers and CtoC cables that support the PD protocol can charge the iPhone 15 series. Previously, The Paper reported that the Apple iPhone 15 series supports the PD protocol, so any cable that supports the PD protocol can charge and transmit data.
The Paper reporter asked the official customer service of Apple and Huawei about this matter. Both parties said that it is recommended to use original charging equipment to charge mobile phones, because chargers with different charging specifications will damage battery life and bring safety risks. When asked whether the failure to charge or slow charging is related to the PD protocol, Apple said that there is currently no clear official statement on the protocol, and it is still recommended to use original products. Huawei also said that it depends on the charging specifications of Apple devices.
Subsequently, the reporter asked the customer service of Taobao Apple's official flagship store about the same issue. The customer service said that the failure to charge was indeed because it did not support the PD protocol. Third-party data cables could not guarantee charging and might also cause problems to the device.
The reporter checked Huawei's official website and found that Huawei now has several high-speed data cables and fast charging chargers that support the PD3.0 protocol and will mark them on the sales page.

Additionally, while USB-C is theoretically a universal standard, in practice it is not. Although the physical appearance specifications are the same, the data and power transmission speeds of each USB-C interface may be different, and some interfaces even only transmit power but not data.
Currently, on Apple’s official website, the 20-watt USB-C power adapter is priced at 149 yuan, and the 60-watt USB-C charging cable (1 meter) is priced at 145 yuan.
For the original charging equipment of the iPhone15 series this time, the charging power of the iPhone15Pro series is 25 watts, and the charging power of the iPhone15/Plus is 20 watts. In terms of data transmission, since iPhone15/Plus only supports USB2.0, the data transmission speed is up to 480Mbps, while iPhone15Pro/ProMax supports USB3.0, and the data transmission speed is up to 10Gbps.
