Accessories wins over Apple's alleged MFI certification
【Global Network Technology Reporter Chen Jian】 August 29 news, Apple is about to bring the new iPhone of the 10th anniversary this fall, everyone's focus is on the next generation of iPhone, when the domestic famous third-party accessories factory products Win announced that it had sued Apple MFI for alleged monopoly and it has been accepted by the Beijing Intellectual Property Court.
Maybe many people are unfamiliar with product wins. In fact, many people’s digital accessories products come from this company. Guangdong Pinsun Electronic Co., Ltd. was founded in 2003 and has been dedicated to the research and development of digital peripheral products for several years, including Apple’s The production of accessories such as iPhone, iPad data lines, but in the Apple MFI website query, product wins have never been Apple's MFI certification.
In Apple's eغير مجاز مي باشدystem, MFi (full name Made for iPhone/iPod/iPad, a development program and authorization program established by Apple based on the peripheral products of the iPhone, iPod, and iPad) means obtaining MFi production license. Authorized to produce accessories for Apple’s products.
On August 28th, Mr. Zhao Guocheng, chairman of Pinsheng, said in a circle of friends that Apple is one of the greatest companies in the world so far. Jobs and Cook are also great entrepreneurs to whom I respect but great companies cannot do damage. Consumer rights. Pingsheng Electronics’ official Weibo also issued a statement that on August 28, 2017, Guangdong Pinsheng Electronics Co., Ltd. formally sued Apple for alleged monopoly. With more than ten years of experience in deep-cultivating 3C parts, we know that MFi mandatory certification does not improve product safety. Instead, it restricts the fair competition of Apple's products and accessories components market. Here, we hope that Apple will stop monopolistic infringement and compensate economic losses by 1 yuan. The Beijing Intellectual Property Court has officially accepted the case. Welcome users continue to pay attention to this case.
As of April 2017, Apple’s official list shows that 934 companies have been authorized by MFi. This is reflected in the fact that the prominent logo on the market through certified products is the black and white Apple Mfi logo on the front of the packaging. Apple allows licensees to print authorization labels on product packaging. The more companies that receive MFi certification, the more intense the competition within the eغير مجاز مي باشدystem. In the MFi authorization, Apple almost holds the "birth and death" of certified companies. Those companies that rely heavily on Apple's authorization are often in an unequal disadvantaged position in this system.
Some industry sources pointed out that currently applying for MFi certification in the market is mostly small and medium-sized enterprises, and joining the MFi system will lose certain autonomy for some large-scale enterprises. Under the MFi system, technical strength will also tend to mediocrity, so many are powerful. Companies are also not willing to do MFi certification.
However, for Apple, MFi certification has always been regarded as its line of defense to ensure user safety. And through MFi certification allows manufacturers to build Apple certified peripherals, and can use Apple's exclusive technology, such as Lightning connector, Apple will also help in the product development process. Apple also avoided the involvement of some cottage brands and threatened user safety. Last year, Apple purchased a large number of power adapters and data cables in Amazon.com and found that most of these products were fake products. Apple filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against these fake suppliers.
In general, when an iPhone is not charged with an MFi-certified data cable, the following prompt appears: “This cable or accessory is not certified and therefore cannot work reliably with this iPhone; this accessory may not be supported.” This is because the iPhone data cable is not MFI certified. Without MFi certified Apple data line products, the experience is greatly reduced. Regardless of the quality of the product itself, each time the iOS system is upgraded, the products that have not been certified by MFi will not be used, and even more serious will cause the iPhone to be burned.
However, some third-party manufacturers cracked the original chip certification and produced many cheap alternatives. However, Apple has clear and mandatory requirements for all authorized distributors. For Apple's functional accessory products, it must sell certified and authorized branded accessory products. Otherwise, products without authorized accessories cause damage to Apple products. No warranty will be made.
However, the reasons for Pingsheng’s lawsuit are that Apple’s efforts to do so is nothing more than to ensure their own interests. MFi’s mandatory certification does not improve product safety, but instead limits the fair competition of Apple’s products and accessories components market. Think that Apple "damaged the rights of consumers". What do you think about this?
