Every year, Apple releases the next generation of new iPhones in September. In other words, it is less than two months before the release date of the iPhone 12. Recently, various information leaks have been overwhelming, and 20W PD chargers have also been exposed.
To obtain a USB-C to lightning wire from a special channel today, the style is very similar to Apple's original process. The wire is made by the weaving process, and it is suspected that the iPhone12 comes standard with a fast charging line.
The type of the cable connector is USB-C to Lightning, also known as the Apple fast charging cable, and the USB-C terminal connected to the PD charger can provide USB PD fast charging for iPhone, iPad and other devices.
Photographing the details of the Lightning terminal through the macro camera. Compared with the gold-plated Lightning contacts of the old non-fast charging wire, the 8 silver contacts of this wire are made of rhodium-plated ruthenium.
Rhodium-plated ruthenium process is better than gold-plated effect, effectively prevent sweat, liquid and other corrosion of contact gold fingers, more durable.
Let's take a look at the outer skin process again. We can see from the macro camera that the weaving process is adopted. The gray and white filaments are twisted and mixed in a 2+2 interlaced manner. Compared with the common TPE skin, it is wear-resistant The ability is more superior.
The wire used for iPhone has been made of PVC and TPE skin. This braided wire is probably the first braided wire for iPhone.
Use the POWER-Z MF001 MFi tester to read the internal information of the Lightning terminal. From the screen, you can see that the wire ASIC and PMU are original, the terminal model is C94, and the score reaches 100 points. It is an Apple MFi certified original terminal. .
The length of the wire is measured by a tape measure. The end-to-end length is 1.05 meters, which is close to the length of the wire used in the previous iPhone.
The micrometer measures the diameter of the wire, with a diameter of 3.04mm, which is a little thicker than the C94 fast charge cable presented by the iPhone 11 before.
What is the charging performance of the wire? Use the Apple 96W PD charger to charge the iPhone 11 Pro Max, the power reaches 8.98V 2.52A 22.68W, reaching the maximum power of the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
In addition to providing fast PD charging for the iPhone, the iPad is also okay. The test charging power for the iPad Air3 reached 15.02V 2.17A 32.72W, which reached the maximum power of the iPad Air3.
Before Apple launched its first braided wire product in July, the price was up to 974 yuan. The 2 meter Thunderbolt Pro braided data cable. All the signs of this braided C94 fast charging cable exposed today speculate that it is likely to be the iPhone 12 standard wiring material. It is also the first matching braided wire in the history of iPhone.
