Q: I bought 2 of these cables http://iwill.com.br/web/produtos.php?id=28|cabo-mfi-homologado-apple-branco , they doesn't meet some of the requirements, like the trapezoidal USB interlocks. Is this company really authorized and certified by Apple?

Hey guys, is the company IWILL (www.iwill.com.br) really authorized and certified to manufacture Apple cables?

iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.3

A:

They do not manufacture Apple cables, they manufacture and sell cables that have the MFI, Made for iPhone certification. In that case, they should work with the iPhone. It cannot have the MFI label on them if they do not meet the specifications. I'm not sure what you are referring to when it comes to USB interlock. I'm not certain what that pertains to the iPhone.
