Apple chargers not working

[ECB]

DH and I are both now having this issue w/ our APPLE chargers and iPhones - when we plug them in, we get a message about how "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone".  This started with DH last week and is now happening w/ my charger.

The IPhone, though, will still charge.  My iPad will not- at all.  

Has anyone else experienced this??

This happens to me when I try to use an off brand cable. If I use the actual Apple lightning cable it charges fine.  My husband has the iphone 5 and still use the off brand cables but I have the 6 and it won't work at all.  Are you using the actual Apple brand ones?  It started when I did one of the updates

This happens when you use a phone charger instead of the iPad charger.

All the time. i hate Apple chargers with all of my being.
I had my phone plugged into my car chrger and noticed some weird whisps of smoke. The charger was meting and smoking by the phone plug in end.

this happens with my phone all the time, including with the brand new apple charger I just bought. it's frustrating and annoying

Yes, this has been happening with our 6s lately.

huh? I've always used the same charger for both and never had this problem until today.

I was getting a very similar message with an Apple charger. Something like too many USB devices in use, but the charger was the only thing in the USB!

I bought a new cord and that solved it!

I have had this happen. Restarting sometimes help. If it's persistent, new cord. I hate apple chargers. Their longevity is like 6 months before you need a new one.

6 months? Try 3 months. I'm not wasting money on chargers (Apple brand) when it's going to bunch up/fray at the end and poof stop working. Like last night it started, I luckily have the ability through Amazon and thanks to my dad to pity me and ordered me a same day delivery by 9pm today of my 3ft iPhone charger. I find the company on Amazon that sells the one called ' noot ' is good. I had their headphones and charger until I left it at the reception site for my sisters wedding. Dumb drunk me. Boo.

oh my god. I thought I was going crazy.
I have an off brand and I need to plug it in like 6 times before it is acknowledged. I have a iphone 5 and ipad 2.
grrr

I only buy apple brand because I've seen off brand start smoking and I was scarred from that.

I get that sometimes after an iOS upgrade. It's really annoying

We replace ours fairly regularly because of this. We actually get the Amazon basics ones because they are less expensive and have lasted longer than the Apple brand.

We use the Amazon Basics ones as well, for both Apple and Android.  I buy a bunch at once because the Apple chargers don't get recognized after a few months and the Android ones bend really easily.  I hate all chargers.

I started getting this a few weeks ago. First was with a coworker's cord when I forgot mine. Not sure if it was an official one. Then with a new one from Amazon - shipped and old by claiming to be an official Apple one. I can't used the Amazon basics ones with my case. Haven't seen it with my ild cables, only with that one. I still use the old ones- this was a new one for the car so I could just leave cables in the car.
