Why is MFi certification so important? What items are included in the MFi certification?

The reason why MFi certification is so important is mainly because it ensures that certified products have the same compatibility and security as original Apple products. Common products with MFi certification are: transmission lines, storage devices, and chargers.

Due to Apple’s strict standards, optical hardware testing items include:

• Electrical safety: Products must comply with relevant electrical safety standards, such as: US UL, EU CE, etc., to ensure that they will not cause harm or danger to users during use.
• EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility): The product must pass relevant electromagnetic compatibility tests to ensure that it will not interfere with other devices when in use.
• Durability: Products must undergo long-term use testing to ensure that the service life of the product can reach standard conditions under normal use.
• Charging speed: For products such as chargers, it is necessary to check whether the charging speed meets Apple's requirements to ensure that users can charge to a certain level in a short period of time without damaging the battery of the device.
• Data transmission speed: If the charging cable has the function of transmitting data, it will also need to check whether its transmission speed meets Apple's original standard to ensure that users can get a good experience.
• Compatibility: The product must pass the compatibility test with Apple's products to ensure that the product will not be unable to connect and use normally due to Apple's official software update
