'This Accessory May Not Be Supported' on iPhone, iPad, or iPod? The Fix!

Two Apple experts explain why your iPhone, iPad, or iPod says “This accessory may not be supported” when you plug in a device to your iPhone’s Lightning port.

Most of the time, this occurs when your accessory is not MFi-certified. However, this problem can also be cause by a software crash, or by an issue with your accessory, iPhone Lightning port, or iPhone charger.

We'll help you figure out the real reason why it says "This Accessory May Not Be Supported" on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

Sometimes I wish I had an Android. Them android chargers be all over the house, but when you have iPhone, iPad, or iPod, you can only depend on one charger.

Who else is phone said “this Accessory could not be supported” while watching this video

[Mehwee]

Why all of a sudden I can’t use the charger I’ve been using for the past 6 months 😑

[Mr_Maiq_The_Liar]

The “non certified” charger works just fine before the phone starts complaining about it

[journeychaktah]

I’m freaking using the charger I got from the box.

[montannagreen]

You guys are a literal life saver. The problem was, I didn’t update my iPhone. First I thought It was just my charger port. If I didn’t watch this video my phone would probably be dead right now and would never cut back on. Thank you so much. You just earned a new subscriber. Thank you.

So your telling me I bought a 100$ headset to play fortnite on my phone and I can’t use it bc it’s not certified by apple. Thanks

[mchicken]

ahaha apple is giving me more reasons to just go for samsung

[relyenterprisestx]

is why I hate iPhones. So basically bend over and pay $30 for a shitty apple cord that will break where the cable meets the lightening connector after a week or two. Thanks!
