Hi, I had the bad luck to find that the case for my iPhone 5 I received as a gift in June stopped working after updating to iOS 7. I got the error message that this device is not certified by apple and charging might not be supported. While I got this warning before with other cables they still charged. This case however did not. Quite a disappointment.
So, indeed whatch out for iOS compatibility or test the charger before buying or make sure you can return it if it does not work.
