iPhone Accessories Made for iPhone

If you own an Apple device and when you buy a cable or a charger you happen to read the acronym MFi on the packaging, it means that you made the right choice. Apple products have very specific characteristics and only accessories of the brand itself or those with MFi certification are suitable for being connected to devices such as iPhone, iPad or iPod.

WHAT IS APPLE MFI CERTIFICATE

Apple has created a licensing program called MFi, or Made for iPhone/ iPad/ iPod , which allows customers to recognize which third-party products are actually verified and certified by the brand itself. For manufacturers, obtaining certification involves meeting requirements and protocols dictated directly by Apple and passing control tests that ensure full compatibility with iOS devices.

The aim is to ensure maximum safety by informing Apple device owners that there is a distinction between counterfeit accessories on the market and those certified by the company that meet specific standards. Checking for Apple MFi certification is essential, in fact using non-certified accessories could cause more or less serious damage to the devices.

HOW TO RECOGNIZE APPLE COMPATIBLE AND MFI CERTIFIED ACCESSORIES

The first element to observe to recognize the presence of Apple MFi certification is the accessory packaging: certified devices in fact feature an MFi logo:

Apple clearly recommends using certified accessoriesfor iOS devices and to facilitate their recognition has inserted on its website a useful document to recognize counterfeit accessories. Thanks to a series of details that make Lightning accessories that have the MFi certification immediately recognizable, an attempt is made to avoid possible damage to Apple-branded devices.

An additional safety feature is provided by Apple devices themselves: when you connect an uncertified cable or charger to your iOS device, it should warn you that the accessory is not certified and may not work safely with your device.

Finally, to avoid any kind of malfunction and to be completely certain that you are purchasing an MFi certified accessory, Apple also provides a public database that allows you to easily search for authorized accessories with an MFi license by entering the brand, model or UPC/EAN code.
