Mfi just means apple gets 15% of the money from the sale of that cable. Not mfi does not mean low quality. It just means they didn't pay apple a cut of something that apple has nothing to do with. Apple is a terribly greedy and predatory company

non-MFI lightning cables are shit bro, they do not work the same and if USB-C for iphone is similar it will not be a good time

Excluse my dozens of extremely high quality and durable and high speed USB-C cables from well known brands that are not MFI certified. Gotta throw them all in the trash, Apple is so ecological damn

Your cables will be fine, but the phone will limit how quickly they charge according to this. That is my beef, you can definitely still use your proper USB-C cables (I have some great ones too)

The thing pissing me off is that Apple will limit the phone to how it can charge or transfer data if they are not MFI

So every USB c made in the past are horrible because apple had not started to certify them yet? USB c cables aren't brand new

What.... I am talking about the cheap non MFi Lightning cables

The issue with said USB-C is that they will be limited by the PHONE not by the cable. So your iPhone may not charge properly or as quickly etc.
