If that's a third party cable, you did take some risk on your iPhone. Third party cables and chargers (made with cheap components and poor design) may not function as expected or can be harmful to the device and to you (or people around you), at worst.
- earthboundkid 6y agoApple keeps a pretty tight lid on MFI though, right? As long as the box has MFI on it, it's probably legit, unless you're really looking on the grey market, I think.

- earthboundkid 6y agoI don’t know how successful they are, but the whole point of MFI is to give Apple the ability to send the USG after you if you use the logo without permission. I mean, there are also fake Rolexes and fake Gucci bags, but those are the exception because the companies mostly do a good job of suing the violators.
