A warning has been issued about using Android USB-C chargers as apparently they can make iPhone 15 models overheat.
In an Android-specific USB-C cable, there is smaller gap between the single-row 9-pin and single-row 11-pin connectors, subsequently increasing the chances of overheating issues.

... An Apple store in Foshan, Guangdong Province, China, has warned iPhone 15 users about using USB-C cables that come bundled with Android devices or are specifically designed for that type of mobile device.

While those tech savvy may already know, the vast majority of us are certainly in the camp where we aren't even aware there are different types of USB-C cables.

In an Android-specific USB-C cable, there is smaller gap between the single-row 9-pin and single-row 11-pin connectors, subsequently increasing the chances of overheating issues.
