3rd party charging accessories no longer function or do not consistently function after updating to iOS 10
Before the iOS 10 update, my charger with 3rd party cables worked perfectly fine. I have a 10 ft woven charging cable that charged my device perfectly fine before updating to iOS 10. I suspect that somewhere in that update's construction, that a stricter standard was added to the code to exclude 3rd party cables, accessories, and so forth from being used on Apple devices. What was added to the update that would cause it to suddenly refuse charging by a 3rd party cable whereas it worked fine before. The last time I charged it with the cable in question was 2 days ago and it worked perfectly fine.
