Re: Strange message on iPhone 5 ?

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Stephen,

Has your wife been using a non-apple charging cable?
Normally this error appears on your iPhone / iPad lock screen because the 
charging cable adapter (also called as lightning connector) you have is not 
genuine. 

If it is a Apple charging cable - try pulling the cable out of the iPhone, then 
putting it back in. 
Also, try plugging the cable into either a different USB port on a computer, or 
into a different wall outlet. 
On rare occasions where the message is displayed erroneously and for no good 
cause, this can be a solution, which is probably indicative of a power issue 
with the source, and not the cable.

Otherwise perhaps the cable is damaged, 

Less Likely, Something is Obstructing the Cable Charger or Port.
A much less likely reason to see the error message, but still a possibility, is 
that something is physically obstructing the port or the charger. 
Basically if something is stuck or obstructed just enough to send a signal but 
not work properly, you may get the error message.

Cheers,
Ronni

Apple mail is not secure for Google? Weird!
