When Apple introduced the iPhone 5 together with the Lightning connector, various studies around this connection led to the discovery that uncertified Lightning cables could be rendered useless by the apple company.
This is because the Lightning cable incorporates an authentication chip inside And if Apple wanted, a software update would be enough to render all those accessories that are not official or from a third-party brand that have the relevant certificate useless.
The software update has arrived and it is called iOS 7 but don't worry, Apple continues to allow the use of these cables for now, that is, before a message will appear on the screen in which we can read something like this:
This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work properly with this iPhone.
It is a warning message, nothing more but be careful, it wouldn't be surprising if Apple took the extreme measure and bet on leaving useless all unauthorized accessories that do not pay the corresponding fees to obtain the certificate.
Perhaps it is too radical a measure and that is why he has preferred to leave a simple but annoying message so that every time we use one of these accessories, we remember that it is not 'made for iPhone'.

Lie….!!! I use one that is from the Chinese and it goes perfectly!
Every time I connect the alternative Chinese cable, it tells me the message that you put. But let me carry
I have already realized as soon as I installed iOS 7, the cable was not original and it has stopped working, in addition to indicating it on the screen.

But it works?
Every day they do more things so that we end up buying a galaxy s4… ..
Some time ago I began to think the same and in fact in my mind everything is oriented to go to the S4 and I do not see how I will stay longer being trained. It is not only about being able to buy cheaper as Jacob_FM says, but about having a wider range of options, we are going back to medieval times when thieves made their way to bridges and "charged" the toll to pass.
And because S4, why not a better and cheaper device like LG nexus 4 or HTC one.
Pol Gonzalez Roig, who has said that the cable does not work?
What I see as the most dangerous is the possibility of voiding the phone's warranty by connecting something not approved ...
Exactly, that's why it says that it probably won't work well.
It does not show me any message. It will be that this Chinese is better than I thought! Hahaha
Well, let's go Apple to fuck. His mother's iPhone is mine and if I want to put the cable that I want is my problem, better that they improve their equipment and systems because this filthy iOS 7 does not bring anything new or what? those 10 changes are a great technological advance
Well ale ... get out of here and buy a Galaxy S4 ... Or better ... Wait for the low-cost iPhone that will surely allow you to use unofficial cables ...
Welcome to a new era of technological apartheid, sponsored by our fool-HaMigo-façade Jacob_FM.
All my life killing fools and there are still ...
What I'm going to is that there is a lot of desperate people who buy iPhone without being able to afford it ... A simple case that is good costs € 40 ... It is like the little boy who buys a "BMW" or a "Cupra" and then complains that if the gasoline, what if accessories, spare parts ...
I have bought all the iPhone models since their departure, knowing what they cost, knowing that a case is € 40 (of course… in the Chinese and not medimarkt…), knowing that a USB cable is € 25-30… and so on. ...
You can't buy a Ferrari…. Well, buy a Seat ... Easy ...
Ole, ole, I am very glad that you are so spare while the rest of us use things that we cannot maintain. Sobrao !!!
Tipiko d apple ……… mongolos!
hahahahahahaha,…. did you want an iphone?
Well, this is the beginning, wait until you screw up the battery, the screen, etc etc ...
If you don't know, Apple already has a department that denounces all kinds of unauthorized hardware distributor, that is, as fuck something, you'll have to take it to an apple by the nose!
so .. take good care of it !!!!!!!!!!!
I have a microusb to ligthin adapter, which I use only to charge through a portable battery, and now in IOs7, apart from the little message, it does not charge the battery.
????
I was disappointed in that regard.
regards
Okay since it warns that pete the guarantee for using something dangerous, to use all original pussyoo !!! XD
Apart from the message, it does not charge the battery with the non-original charger,
But the thing is, the original charger gets excessively hot,
The truth is that this point I did not like at all, and the battery is "sucked, it's nice."
I think I'll go back to ios 6, it's still not very stable
This is already real in BETA 3 OF IOS 7. Ami my pirate chargers no longer pull me, I had to buy an ORIGINAL one and I could well buy another from another brand but I was afraid of losing my money, someone who tried with a charger from another Mark?
In ios 7 they are already initialized I have that sofwere and when I connect an uncertified cable that message appears and the pc does not identify it and to load it squat, leave it connected and turn it off kosa k is very annoying
Learn to write please, the sight of reading your comment hurts, or is it that your keyboard does not have a Greek "y", we already know that it does not have a checker.
I have the same cable as the photo and I just got the message and running like crazy to san google hahaha let me know that it is just a warning.
I get the message from the second beta, to this day I continue to use them and they let me charge the battery perfectly. So try it and you will see, do not be fools. If they say that it is because they will not have or tried it.
bingo!!!! they have already rendered the alternative cables unusable ...
I connect it to the wall or to the computer with a "false" cable but I get the message but it does not load, I have waited to see if it works but it does not give results: / I don't know what to do
After the message comes out, you turn it off, that's how I load it
I recommend NOT to connect non-certified cables at least in iPhone 5s, since since I connected an alternative non-certified cable the wall charger stopped working and the USB port to which I connected the cable stopped working as well, although it only does not recognize APPLE cables or even original. And the charger just doesn't work with anything.
My cable is the original that came with the iPhone and today that message began to mark me. Does anyone know why?
IT'S AN ENTIRA !!!!… ..I have always used the original and I get that unpleasant message at all times… .point (-) to the block.
My charger is original, but for now that message has appeared and it won't let me charge the phone. What I do?
Exactly that just happened to me, and it won't let me charge my cell phone or anything.
I don't know what to do because it is supposedly original.
WHAT I DO!?? clearly it was not just a simple message ..
