It's a warning that it's not an Apple-approved device
It may (or may not) be "shady"
It's an especially helpful message when plugging into a not-before-seen computer
It's also helpful as a warning that you may not have as high a QC standard for the charging device as you should for your $1000 pocket supercomputer we call a smartphone
- hereforphone 4y agoWhy would it be a device at all? It's supposed to be a charging outlet.
- warrenm 4y agoBecause it's not merely a "charging outlet" ... there's electronics in the charger to convert AC to USB power out :)
- hereforphone 4y agoAs I understand it these typically just use the power rails of the USB interface. I've used several AC->USB converters in the past, and they haven't been detected as a device. This is unusual at least in my experience.
- warrenm 4y agoI've yet to see a charger I've bought anywhere not give the warning the first time I plug into it Happens pretty frequently with cables, too
