If the charger and the cable are MFI (Made For iOS) certification, you should be fine. If it doesn’t, well, it’s a crapshoot.

Compatible and certified are not the same. I stopped buying the non apple ones. Tired of wasting money

I just bought a certified cable from Charge Slim - great reviews and good investment. You get what you pay for!

So, what happened with it? Did it not work? I've had good luck with Monoprice certified cables. I like having a 10' cable. Apple apparently doesn't offer one.
