Purposefully making either a device that detects differences in a cable, or
making the cables in such a way to prevent the triggering of such a message
would be a money making scheme that should be illegal.

I am not saying that it’s a scheme. It’s what Apple’s in business for to
make money!

I don't think that this is a scheme to make money. There must be something
different about that particular cable that causes the alert.
In order to give flexibility and strength to cables, they are made of
stranded wire, and if only one strand breaks, it can cause problems. This
might be what is happening, although this is conjecture on my part, based on my
past workings with making cables using a soldering iron, electronic solder,
wire and jacks.

Hello there,
Yeah it’s all about the money. Each cable and transformer costs so the
more they sell the more they make.

Hi Alan,
This should not harm your phone at all. I charge my phone using both a
micro USB cable along with a lightning to micro USB adapter and I get this
message all the time when I plug the phone in and once the phone is done
charging. Thus far, neither my iPhone 5s nor my iPhone 6 has been damaged in
anyway that I can tell from using this method. I really wish that there was a
way to turn off that annoying announcement but, I'm sure that it is to apples
advantage to annoy and or scare us into using only their proprietary cables.

Hello List,
I reported a day or so ago that I'm getting a "This accessory may not
be supported" message from my new iPhone 6 when I charge it using its lightning
cable plugged into either a USB extension cable connected to my computer or one
connected to the Apple AC adapter. At least one other confirmed this message
and got a 2-meter lightning cable from the Apple Store in order to avoid it.
I can now confirm that I only get this unsupported accessory message
after my iPhone is fully charged. I believe others have also reported this same
result. So, I decided to save the $30 on the 2-meter lightning cable and
continue to use my USB extension cables to provide more length since the phone
does charge with this arrangement.
If anyone thinks my approach could be detrimental to my iPhone, I'd
love to hear your comments. Thanks.
