I don't like the practice, but I don't see how it could be made illegal.
Companies have the right to use proprietary components. Companies can
also void warranties if approved peripherals aren't used. Apple doesn't
have a monopoly on smart phones, and if you want a smart phone that uses
an industry standard connector, you have plenty of options.

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

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.
