Apple requires that you use Apple-made or Apple-certified charger and reserves the right to void warranty if you do not.

Do you have a source for that? I've found some references to potentially voiding the warranty by using a non-MFI cable. But again, the cable is included with the phone.

    > (c) to damage caused by use with a third party component or product that does not meet the Apple Product’s specifications (Apple Product specifications are available at www.apple.com under the technical specifications for each product and also available in stores) This one? It doesn't say the charger needs to be certified, only that it needs to meet specifications, which can be found in the tech specs for each product. The iPhone 14's specs [0] don't seem to mention any requirement for certifications. I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong but so far I haven't found anything to support your claim. Could you please point me to where I can find the need for a certification? [0] https://www.apple.com/iphone-14/specs/ https://www.apple.com/iphone-14/specs/

      I didn't notice that detail, fair enough, however where are the charger specs on the linked page? can't find anything to compare. And the only spec for the charger I could find is wattage https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MHJA3AM/A/20w-usb-c-power-adapter https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MHJA3AM/A/20w-usb-c-power....

        I couldn't find any either. I assume this means any USB-C compatible charger is supported. A sibling comment posted a link to a page talking about PD but that seems to be only a requirement for fast charging, not a hard requirement.

  Most people do not understand ANYTHING about charging standards. They only know that some chargers in they possession seem to be charging some of the devices quickly and some not.
