Sony YY3015 - Uh what is it?
A new model code has appeared in the Apple's MFi database, YY3015. The entry is a bit puzzling. Normally when a new Sony headset appears in the MFi database, it has 6 entries for the 6 different regions.
These region codes correspond to the various areas around the world.
- UC - US, Canadian and Latin American
- CE7 - European area, East European area, CIS area (Moldova, Ukraine) and Middle East area (Israel) models
- E - CIS area (Except for Moldova, Ukraine), Middle East area (Except for Israel), South East Asian area (Except for India), East Asian area (Except for China), Oceania area, African area and Tourist models
- CN - China
- IN - India
- J - Japan
Except, the YY3015 has only one entry in the database. This is not a wireless speaker as it is listed in the Headsets & Headset Adapters category. Another oddity is the UPC/EAN, 111111111111, almost as if someone had to enter a number for the filing and decided to just enter all 1s.
So what are we looking at? And why is there only 1 entry? My first thought was a USB-C headset, but Sony's IER-EX15C (YY3004) is not listed on MFi, even though it is compatible with Apple's products. Could it be an error? Will we get additional entries?
A MFi certification is for all "Made for Apple" accessories, so it might not even be wireless and might actually be a wired USB-C model.
If it is a wired headset only, then we might only see a South Korean certification in the future, otherwise no other certs will appear. Hopefully some import filings appear in the future. I have no idea if entries from the database can be removed, so perhaps this one will once I post this up.
