The Issue with the iPhone 15 is a Real Headache!
Why Your iPhone 15 Might Not Charge in Ride-Hailing Cars
Last year, with the release of the iPhone 15 series, Apple finally “proactively” replaced the Lightning port with the “new” USB-C (Type-C) port for the vast number of iPhone users.
Compared to the Lightning port, USB-C offers several advantages, such as higher maximum data transfer speeds and greater power delivery capabilities.
More importantly, USB-C is a universal standard widely used across various devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and external monitors, which helps reduce the variety and number of ports needed.
Unfortunately, the ideal scenario of a seamless “one-cable-fits-all” USB-C experience only exists in theory.
In reality, USB-C usage can come with a range of inexplicable issues.
A while ago, a friend’s complaint on social media caught my attention:
“After extensive research, it has been discovered that ride-hailing cars generally do not provide charging cables for iPhone 15 and above models.”
“The ride-hailing drivers use these three-in-one cables, which either don’t charge when plugged in or fit loosely.”
