When we buy data cables, you will find that there is a kind of mfi-certified data cable, which is more expensive but looks gorgeous .
Apple MFi certification is the abbreviation of "Made for iPhone/iPod/iPad", which is an identification license for Apple's external accessories manufactured by its authorized accessory manufacturers.
Passing Apple's MFi certification is a long and rigorous process, and it is said that only 2% of applicants can pass MFi certification each year.
Apple requires all Apple accessory manufacturers to pass MFi certification. In terms of data lines, there will be protection chips in MFi-certified products to ensure the safety of accessories and mobile phones.
Passing Apple's MFi certification is to produce Apple's mobile phone hardware with the same production standards as Apple. Products with MFi certification are guaranteed in quality. Some products that do not have MFi certification will have pop-up tips that are not certified.
However, the price of certified accessories may be more expensive, and some third-party manufacturers' products may be more expensive than the original data line.
