False. It’s a ploy to sell you a charger that you don’t need. You can use any Apple or Apple approved MFI charger as long as the plugs fit without forcing. The speed of the charge will vary, but all power sources of 5 watts (1 amp) or more will charge any iPhone. Higher power sources will charge faster, but that’s the only difference.
