Under MFi, accessory makers get Apple\u2019s blessing and support to make iPhone accessories, but in turn have to pay a small royalty to the phone company for every case and dongle pumped out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">It makes billions for Apple, and ensures for customers that they\u2019re buying accessories certified to work with their devices. Now, it looks like Google is getting in the game, and it didn\u2019t work too hard on the name for its scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">9to5Google is reporting that Google will soon launch a \u201cMade for Google\u201d accessories certification program. It will likely debut alongside new Google hardware, which is set to be announced this week. Google is expected to launch two new phones, the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, as well as a new laptop and new version of its smart home speaker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Google\u2019s smartphones and laptops tend to use the USB-C standard, which is still new and unfamiliar to consumers. The standard is fantastic on paper, as it allows you to charge and transfer huge amounts of data all with one cable, but it can be confusing to consumers. Different cables and chargers are not interchangeable, and one Google engineer found that the vast majority of USB-C accessories off Amazon that he tested weren\u2019t good for charging Chromebooks or smartphones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">With that in mind, a \u201cMade for Google\u201d program would make a ton of sense, and help accelerate the rise of USB-C, by giving consumers an easy way to see which accessories to buy. With any luck, Google won\u2019t take one particular page out of Apple\u2019s playbook, and certification might not add much cost on, so charging cables don\u2019t reach Lightning prices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Source:-\u00a0http:\/\/bgr.com\/2017\/10\/03\/google-pixel-2-release-date-usb-c-made-for-google\/<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/google-coming-for-the-dongles-with-made-for-google-accessories-program.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google coming for the dongles with Made for Google accessories program Google coming for the dongles with Made for Google accessories program:- One of the iPhone\u2019s more quietly successful components \u2014 successful for Apple\u2019s bottom line, at least \u2014 is the Made for iPhone program.
