Using a third-party data cable to charge/transfer your iPhone or iPad is nothing new. Compared with Apple's official data line, third-party products on the market are generally lower in price and therefore more likely to be favored by consumers. However, it should be noted that not every merchant that sells iOS data cables or chargers has been authorized by Apple. What if I don't have authorization? Apple responded directly with a lawsuit.
According to PatentlyApple, Apple recently filed an appeal in the United States against a merchant named Mobile Star LLC because the merchant was selling the iOS power adapter and data cable without Apple's authorization on the Amazon platform. Apple stated in the lawsuit that they believe that these copycat products will cause iOS products to spontaneously ignite, thereby causing damage to people and public facilities, and affecting Apple's brand image.
While Apple appealed Mobile Star, Amazon did not issue a statement on the matter. You know, in June of this year, Fortune magazine ranked Amazon as the most influential and trusted company. And in the past three years (2014-2016), Amazon has also been rated by Forbes as the most respected company in the United States. I wonder how they will respond to this time?
