My phone won't charge with a 10 ft lighting cable that's is not by apple.
Do you have to have a authorized apple charger for the iPhone 5s for it to charge?
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.3
To avoid problems ,yes ,a certified cable is needed
The cable is patented if the manufacturer has licenced the design ,they work as in Belkin Griffin etc etc
if it is a cheap far eastern copy probably not
