How come I get this warning "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone" every time I plug in my iPhone 5s?

I have no answer, but I have the same question about my iPhone 5... I'm out $20 and no charging going on!!!

Not an answer, just another person who would like to know the same thing- why am I getting this warning for my iPhone 5c and why does it charge intermittently instead of every time I plug it in?

I don't know if the cable is certified by Apple. I use it with my Iphone 5 because it has a thick cord on it. I originally purchased one at a sprint store and they hold up much longer than the regular iphone charger so know I only buy these.

It is not apple certified and you do get that annoying message that the accessory may not work with the phone. However, the only issuei have noticed is a lack of touchscreen responsiveness when the charger/case is itself charging and I am using the phone.

In all honesty, I would spend a little more and get a certified cable from Apple, this one is junk. The connector does not fit well and you can't charge the device at the same time as you can with others. Move on.

Sounds like a bad cable connection to me. Does it happen with other iPhones as well? What happens when you connect a lap top or other device? Could potentially be a ground issue as well but less likely .

I have an iphone 5s and ran into the same issue, apple sales 2 different converter from the old 40 pin connector to the lighting portMakw sure to get the extended one which is the same but allows you to rest your ipad on the side without putting pressure on the actual connector.

I tried to charge a iPhone 5 and an iPad Mini and it fried the charger out. Mine could of been faulty and it may not be a common problem.

I haven't upgraded to iPhone 5 yet (didn't wait in one of those silly lines and now have to wait). I will report after I do the upgrade. I will get one of those $30 cables.

Mikesters, the current version of this cable should be iOS 7 compatible. When did you order yours? It is possible yours may simply be defective. If you contact us here I'll make sure you are taken care of:

I just tested mine out with my 5S. No issues at all. I am using the AmazonBasics USB A to Lightning Compatible Cable (3 Feet/0.9 Meter) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009SYZ8OC cable in my car with it.

We have had one since Christmas and it has worked with the 5s without any problems. Sounds like you have a bad unit and need to exchange it.

I have an iPhone 5 and have no problems with my outlets. I have 3 of them in my house. Maybe it's the cord or iPhone itself.

I purchased this cable - works fine with my 5S - I did not get any reliability message

The charging dock will not work with an iPhone 5S, but you can still use the speaker with an auxiliary cable.

I ordered this for my iPhone 5s and it doesn't work with either the lightning cord that came with my phone or with extra "lightning to USB" cables that I bought from Amazon. I understand that the cord that came with it is for charging and recharging it, but once it's charged, there is no way to plug in my iPhone. The "input" opening is the wrong size. I don't know what kind of cable it is supposed to take. I am returning it. starquilt43
