Reply to comment by TyberZ52 in iPhone 15 USB-C Accessories to Have Limited Data and Charging Speeds Without Apple's MFi Certification by ExternalUserError

Just seems unlikely given they’ve made the move and the iPhone is the last part of it. Why not do it back when the iPad and Mac moved to USB-C. The older iPad, when they used the lightning port were part of the MFi program, but my M2 iPad Pro works with any USB-C device or cable. Think until Apple makes an announcement it seems unlikely personally.

I could see them change kicking and screaming UNLESS they found some way to keep taking in MASSIVE 💰💰💰 from their made for iPhone program; not necessarily a bad program, but apple is under legal obligation to stock holders to make the most money possible.

Your view of "You want something that always works? That only happens in a closed system." In relation to peripherals is flawed. There are already wide reaching driver support in open systems such as mainline Linux. You don't need to install (in some cases) any drivers to use the most popular items such as printers, mice, keyboard ect.

"That only happens in a closed system" is only (sometimes) the case when that "closed system" decides what it thinks the user wants is the only way.

As far as I understand, this Phone Link app is only available for beta/insider testers right now?

And the Intel Unison app is only compatible with Evo laptops?

EDIT: So I was incorrect, but I'll leave this up for posterity's sake. I wasn't able to find the Intel Unison app in the Microsoft Store app itself, but I did search for and find the app on the store website.

After downloading there, I was able to link my phone to my PC.

You don’t have to lose access to Apple Music or the previously purchased apps. All you need to do is create a Family Sharing group. All members of a Family Sharing group can share purchases and things like Apple Music subscriptions and you don’t lose any privacy since each Apple ID is separate.

Everyone in the family should have there own Apple ID and they should be joined together as a Family Sharing group to share purchases and subscriptions to thing like Apple Music.

Correct, Quick Start does not use iCloud backup. The whole point of Quick Start is to transfer the data directly from one phone to the other.

Anyway, as for the Apple ID, just log out of the shared Apple ID before starting Quick Start and once the new iPhone is set up just log in to your new Apple ID.

Now since you are getting your own separate Apple ID you will have to get all the apps all over again including purchasing any that were previously purchased since apps aren’t transferred during Quick Start set up.
