Is this cable really Apple certified? If so, why some reviewers said when they plugged in the cable, iPhone 5 will say it's not certified?

I have an iPhone 5 which I use with this cable and the phone has never said "it's not certified"? In fact, this cable has worked perfect with my iPhone 5. I've had no problems and it's a much sturdier cable than apple's cable (I had to replace the cable apple gave me because it frayed).

The box says it is, but when I plugged it into my iPhone 5c running iOS 7.1.2 (most current update) I got the message that it was not a certified accessory.

I'm not sure why other people are reporting this. I do know that it is the best cable I have tried to date, and I have tried very many brands and lengths. I have purchased more from Tech Armor since ad have had no trouble with any of them.

I'm with T & S and the cable does work with iOS7 on 95%+ of the iOS7 devices. You may get a message saying the cable isn't certified but other than that it works as it should. On a very small number of devices it doesn't work. We're working with our engineers to resolve why on a small number of devices it not working as it should. This issue may be resolved with Apple's next incremental update (ie iOS7.1). If you do get a cable that isn't working correctly on your device please contact us and we'll be sure to take good care of you.

No worries, it's a simple fix. Take the cable and unplug it from your Ipad, Next box it back up, send it back to Amazon. Get a refund and go buy one from Apple. Then complain to Amazon about them continuing to dupe customers with items that don't work even after numerous customers have complained about the product.

I have never had a problem with my iphone 5 or any of my apple products. The Sprint store sells them for the iphone so I would say that they are Apple certified.

I tried it 2 weeks ago as I needed to connect an external battery to my iPhone 5 (with iOS 7) while on the bike stand (I was doing MTB and my phone battery power was running out). For some reason the phone didn't charge at the beginning and got a system message saying that the accessory was not certified and that it might not work reliably with my iPhone. But I disconnected and connected it back, the warning appeared once more but the phone was charging just fine.

Welcome to the club! They are awful. Better get the cable from amazon that is certified. AmazonBasics Apple Certified 30-Pin to USB Cable for Apple iPhone 4, iPod, and iPad 3rd Generation - 3.2 Feet (1.0 Meter)

It worked for me until Apple issued an iOS update. Apparently "Certified" does not actually mean "Certified" in the world of Apple.

Hi Marnaia! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) On the listing page you'll find that we have received MFi certification from Apple for these cables. MFi is an abbreviation of "Made for iPhone", "made for iPad" and "made for iPod". This is Apple's licensing and certification program for electronic accessories that connect with their portable devices. A product branded with the MFi logo is thereby approved by Apple to fulfill the quality requirements needed to receive the MFi certification. Therefore no need to worry, there will be no message that pops up saying "not Apple certified" because our 8pin lightening cables are MFi and fully Apple Certified. If you have any further questions feel free to contact us for a speedy reply at the following link:

Probably not, as it's been failing to work for many Iphone users. Thee cable doesn't seem to be proper for Apple products. Apple has stopped selling this at their stores.

Your charging cable needs to be an Apple certified cable as the other brands and imitations may not fit. It is recommended by Apple as well to only use an Apple certified charging cable anyway.

Hi Rachel, We just tested the cable with an iPhone 5 running ios7.1 and it didn't give us any popup errors and was charging the phone normally. That being said, you should be fine. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

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) AmazonBasics Apple Certified Lightning to USB Cable - 3 Feet (0.9 Meters) - Black cable in my car with it.

although I'm not sure if it's apple certified, I do know that Verizon and Sprint stores sell the cable, so I would guess that they are.

It works. You will see the message "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone", but specifications of the product are good and should not damage your iPhone. When you connect the case to the iPhone you just have to click the button at the back and leave it pressed until your iPhone starts charging (after you see the message and discard it). Remember not to use it constantly just when you need battery (lower than 20%), and when it is charged remove the case, it can reduce your battery life if you use it always.

When I plug it into the iPhone 5s shows a message that says "This cable or accesory it´s not certified, so it may not work correctly with this iPhone" and doesn´t charge at all.

I have had a similar issue with a different type of portable charger and it turned out to be the cable. I was using a non-apple certified cable. When I used the certified cable it worked just fine.

Look at the details as far as charging 5s but it is Apple certified. I love it. Works great. Hope this helps.
