Why isn't my charger certified?

I have an iphone 5 that has ios7, I purchased the phone in June and it came with a iphone 5 charger. Recently my original charger broke so I purchased a new one and now whenever I charge my phone a message comes up saying that 'this charger is not certified and may not work reliably' and my stepdad has just told me that because of this new charger my phone may not charge sometimes as it says it's not reliable. How do I get my charger to be certified and work 100% of the time with my phone?

You can't, you would need to buy a genuine apple certified charger. I wouldn't worry too much it should charge fine though

  • Where can I buy a refurbished/certified verizon iPhone 5? I broke my i4, and instead of making an insurance claim, i would rather upgrade to an i5, but if i upgrade in the store, i lose my unlimited data plan, which i clearly refuse to do. I was wondering if anyone knew any reliable websites or have any ideas on how to purchase a clean (physically and financially) iPhone 5? Besides ebay…
  • What's the best MFi certified Iphone 5 battery extender case? I'm looking for the best durable and best battery extender with an mfi certification. This is kind of strange but what's the point of MFi certification? LIke Maxboost doesn't have it. Does it matter? What is the best battery extender case you have found that incorporates everything like syncing, and reception?

  • This cable is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone? I have had this message before, but my phone was plugged in. This time I was at a concert wearing a bag that was loose on my body and my phone was in it. It could be easily taken out without me noticing. I took it out and the message appeared. Is it possible that someone plugged something in to my phone and put a virus or something on it? Or am I just being paranoid?
