Since the iPhone 15 series models have a USB-C connector, Lafos for iPhone 5-15 series has an extra customized connection cable included (The connection cable for iPhone 5-14 series is also included).

Lafos is compatible with most Android phones that have properly designed Type-C ports and have Android 5 or above installed.

All Android phone models would require an app installation and authorization to connect for the first time. After the app is installed, Lafos becomes plug-and-play.

Depending on its computing power, some older models may experience lag due to the lack of performance. This issue generally occurs on really old models. If the phone itself is slow, it will be slow with Lafos connected as one would expect.

Because of the custom settings some of the manufacturers set, some models may require specific manual set-up to work. For example, OPPO or VIVO phones require users to manually open the OTG settings, as for security reasons the phone would automatically turn off its OTG after every unplug. Most Android phones such as SAMSUNG, HUAWEI, XIAOMI etc. don't have this issue.

We apologize for the inconvenience, however these are settings set by the manufacturers and are hard for us to work from our end as for this moment.

No. Lafos only work with its own customized cable. Lafos's cable has sets of unique chips built into the tip to ensure video, audio and control signals can stream simultaneously, whereas a standard iPhone/USB-C cable cannot do so. We made one end of the connector different on purpose so our users won't mistakenly use the wrong cable and have to question if the device malfunctioned. If you need additional Lafos cables you could purchase them separately from our shop.

No. They run different firmware within the Lafos main body. We have plans to merge them in the future, but as for now they are separate models.

Their end connectors are different. For the customized cable for iPhone 5-14, the end connector uses the legacy connector for iPhone 5-14. For the customized cable for iPhone 15, the end connector uses the USB-C connector.

As Apple just released their latest iPhone 15 Series mid-September, we underwent a lot of engineering and testing since then to ensure Lafos‘s compatibility with iPhone 15 and Android phones. There are different types of chipsets to be tested, and embedded system codes to be written before we go into the injection molding process to make the customized cable.

The Audio, Video and Control transmission of the cable is a delicate process which requires a lot of testing. It would not work with just any standard USB-C Cable. We cannot magically make a cable out of thin air the next month after Apple releases their latest iPhone (as much as we tried). We get access to iPhone 15 the same time as everyone else. Hence the pre-order.

As for now, most testing process are done. We are happy to share with you we have initiated the injection molding process to make the new customized connection cables. However, the manufacturing of the mold itself can take up to 20+ days to complete. After we have the cable, we will send them to our manufacturing facilities to package and have them ready to ship ASAP.
