Apple devices NOT CHARGING using a non MANUFACTURED CABLE FROM APPLE (When cable is rotated, it does then charge). WHY DO YOU HAVE TO ROTATE THE CABLE?))

Sounds like you just have a bad cable. There are many different brands that will work fine and there are also some that are just poor quality and will fail.

If the original power adapter for your device isn't available, you can also charge iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or iPod with “Made for iPhone” or other third-party cables and power adapters that are compliant with applicable country regulations and international and regional safety standards.

I have previously and am currently using third-party USB-C to Lightning, USB-A to Lightning, and USB-C cables, some of those angled magnetic connectors, and Apple and multiple third-party USB-A and USB-C chargers, and numerous examples have and do work and do charge.

As has been the experience of many other folks around here, as well.

Usual causes: Bad cable, debris in a socket somewhere, or bad iPhone.

Maybe bad power too, as some USB-A and particularly USB-C chargers can have faults.

...It has a “C”) connection and what I called the old iPhone connection...

Just to make sure I understand. This cable is which of the following:

1. USB-C on one end and Lightning on the other?
2. USB-C on one end and split with two connectors on the other end; one being USB-C and the other being Lightning?

It would help if you can provide us with either an image or a link to this cable so we can see exactly what you have.

...It is just the Apple devices that have the error message again I simply put Apple are trying to remove competition by having this error pop up when I’m not using Apple manufacturers accessories on the new iPhones...

AFAIK, Apple only states that they recommend that you only use cables that are either MFi-certified or have the "Use with iPhone" labels. I can't verify, whether or not, this is an Apple marketing ploy.

...so I’d like you to work that one out if you don’t believe Apple are doing something wrong because it seems as if they are.

We are not Apple employees here, so we are not going to "work that out" for you. We are just fellow Apple-product users trying to help others with their Apple devices. We also have no way do duplicate what your are experiencing if we don't even know what exact cable you have.

Since you didn't "accept" my answer, I'll drop off and let others offer their assistance. Good luck!

The cable or connector is seemingly faulty, given the connections are incorrect or intermittent.

Contact the seller for information for support for your purchase.

Request a replacement or a refund if they can’t get this to work.

I’ve worked with a few third-party magnetic-coupled cable connectors, and they have worked reasonably well. Biggest issue was the indwelling connector was difficult to extract when a case was used.

Rotating the cable would indicate that not all pins of the cable are active. That is, this cable may be used for charging only and not for both charging and data transfers. This would be typical of cables only meant for charging. They must be orientated properly to work. This is a typical issue with "cheap" cables.

If your Apple devices are really worth it to you, don't use cheap cables. Make sure the charging cables you use are, at least, MFi-certified.

You see that same cable for sale on Amazon under many different labels. It is a poor quality cable from China and you can see the same results that you have experienced across many different platforms by reading the reviews. Pay particular attention to the 3 star or less ratings as many of the 5 star reviews can be bought by the seller. Stick with any good quality cable whether it is from a reputable third party or Apple and you will not have a problem.

So tell me very quiet all of a sudden tell me some it’s wrong you say it doesn’t make sense rotating the cable makes the cable connected it stays in the device I charge it then when you reconnect the cable magnetically it says it will charge but you have to rotate the end again. It seems just because it’s not made by Apple it wants the inconvenience you and as I stated you’ve gone very quiet all of a sudden, so what do you say about that and by the way to state that cable could be even brand-new as a ridiculous “are you trying to tell me that when you buy an apple, it could be faulty also. it’s a way of Apple being an inconvenience.

I'm sorry but I really don't 'understand that post. Could you possibly rephrase it without the run-on sentences?

Thank you for your reply, this is not the first time I get this message. The cables I purchased a brand-new and not faulty. They charge anything else I connect to with no issues and no error messages as I stated this is not the first time I have ever received this message from an Apple device, whether it’s my iPad Pro or my iPhone. It’s the same on my husband‘s iPhone and his iPad and it’s not made from Apple and you connected to charge it.

If this arises with multiple cables from various vendors. It’s also possible that there might be debris lodged in the iPhone connector socket, or the iPhone itself might faulty.

But for isolated cases, the usual cause is a faulty cable.

Brand-new can still be faulty.
