Is this wall charger apple certified?

I'm not sure but after using it many months I do not get any warnings whatsoever on the phone from Apple's OS saying the accessory is not approved like I have on some other chargers when I had the older 30 pin iPhones. I would say it's ok but I cannot confirm the Apple Certified part as I long ago through the box away that contains that symbol.

Because this charger is compatible with Apple. To do so, they cannot follow the USB charging standard. So, if you have a phone that does, like any android phone, you have to have a special charge-only cable. I really wish that there were at least one high power charger available that did follow the standard.

I do not believe that it is however, I have two of these....I bought one a couple years ago that is an apple product.....so I wanted another one....I discovered apple doesn't appear to sell it anymore. I found this on amazon and it is identical to my apple one and it works fine I've had it for three months now....I love it!!!

no!!!! if it's not apple, it's not certified apple. but that doesn't mean it's not a very good product.

It may be, I'm not able to speak to that. Either way, this charger had a terrible build. Seems great when you get it. Use it a while and it just starts to fall apart. You go to pull it from the wall, and the case part comes off in your hand, while the rest stats connected in the outlet. Very dangerous.

I have had mine over a year now and have not had one problem and highly recommend it. I think that the not certified is that it's not an Apple approved device by Apple. Just like charging cables, I needed a longer cable so I bought some cheap ones off groupon, woot etc. and they all work fine at half the price or less.

Your charging cable needs to be an Apple certified cable as the other brands and imitations may not fit. It is recommended by Apple as well to only use an Apple certified charging cable anyway.

The box says it is, but when I plugged it into my iPhone 5c running iOS 7.1.2 (most current update) I got the message that it was not a certified accessory.

Very possible. Go to apple forums. The new OEM parts embedded chips are making integration to. Non OEM chargers are for the most part becoming inoperable to.

I charge it with my wall iPhone charger as it has a removable connection. I've also charged it from my Mac

In response to CKS, sometimes Apple will add a check to the software that will only allow "Made For iPhone/iPod/iPad" certified peripherals to charge a device. It hasn't happened in a few years, but it has happened.

I can't say it's Apple Certified, but, you do not get any messages stating there are any problems. I have seen the messages with generic brands. These are still holding up great.

I am not sure if it is Apple certified but it has been working with my iPhone 5 iOS7 updated.

Yes. Apple did cook up a proprietary scheme, but this component contains a circuit that puts the right voltages on the data pins to charge Apple devices at 1A, same as the small charger that came with your iPhone 5.

I do not recall it being Apple certified. My Mini radio showed the cable was not supported. It did not work for me at all.

The wall plug USB connector from apple will work with this as long as you remove the apple cable and replace it with any micro USB cable or with the cable provided with this item
