What is MFi Certification?Updated 5 months ago

Basically, MFi is like Apple’s badge of approval for third-party accessories. 

Apple’s MFi program, referring to “Made for iPhone/iPod/iPad”, is a licensing program for developers of hardware and software peripherals that work with Apple devices. The MFi program covers various device connectors including the headphone jack, original dock connector and the newer Lightning connector, as well as AirPlay support. Companies joining the MFi program and passing certification tests are able to display certain MFi-related logos on their product packaging, like the "Made for iPod" badge. 

When purchasing accessories such as charging cables for your Apple devices, it is very important to ensure they are MFi certified, to avoid any issues with compatibility down the line. You can rest assured that all Native Union cables built for Apple devices are MFi certified.
