I see. Well I can't imagine that it would be fine to require an MFi chip in USB-C cables. Because that destroys the whole point of using USB-C cables indeed.

If the rumor is true, I would bet that it's more about bringing MFi to USB-C devices. Which is totally compatible with USB-C.

It's about two things for Apple:

1. Wringing extra revenue out of every possible angle 2. Preventing developers from doing anything unforeseen; a longtime Apple mania
