Apparently the #iPhone 12 contains standard a Apple MFi 3.0 coproc (codename "Roswell") on the display flex in order to do parts pairing?

Not really sure what happens in iPhone 13-14, but in 15 they introduce "Mogul" which seems to be the new #MFi 4.0 coproc(?)

#ShieldAlert: #AndSteiner, GenderDiverse #HumanRightsActivist, targeted for #PatientAdvocacy at #LemuelShattuck.

Urgent Update: #Whistleblower And Steiner Still in Danger Despite Recent Concessions

September 22, 2025: "#MindFreedomInternational (#MFI) is pleased to report that, in response to our previous Shield Alert update, Lemuel Shattuck Hospital has allowed And Steiner to see a covering provider of their choice and assured that And’s requests are being taken seriously. However, MFI remains concerned about And’s safety and well-being despite these concessions.

"As a reminder, And is a #Massachusetts (MA) Department of Mental Health (DMH) patient at Lemuel Shattuck Hospital and whistleblower alleging criminal misconduct and abuse within the Massachusetts #DMH system, and has faced a pattern of retaliation including illegal #ForcedTransfer, assault, and harassment and denial of #DueProcess. A staff member has also warned that DMH plans to continue this targeting and harassment."

See link below to learn what you can do.

"Main talking points:

- And Steiner is a whistleblower who has reported alleged criminal misconduct and abuse within the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health system.
- And is currently under the care of those they are whistleblowing about.
- A staff member has warned an MFI volunteer of DMH’s intentions to target and harass And.
- And has faced retaliation, including illegal forced transfer, assault, verbal and sexual harassment, and denial of due process, including recent targeted discrimination and abuse by staff.
- Ivy McCall, a friend of And’s with a masters degree in social work, who has attended many of And’s Team Meetings, has come forward saying she believes DMH is targeting and abusing And and that And is not safe.
- All Massachusetts State entities have refused to intervene despite an easily provable #patternOfAbuse and targeting by DMH towards And for at least 3 years.
- Many staff members have filed complaints regarding And’s care.
- #MindFreedom and many advocates and you remain concerned that this pattern will continue without intervention."

both of these issues were pertaining to their #Apple Watch charger btw. the first one, was their 2-in-1 USB-C to USB-C + #AppleWatch charger. That worked fine, 'cept the USB-C charger does not seem to charge 2 different #iPhone 15 Pros - despite it charging other USB-C devices fine, AND its advertised data sync capability's completely false.

After returning that, I bought their standalone Apple Watch charger which came with both Lightning and USB-C ports. It charged 2 of my Apple Watches just fine initially, but by the 3rd Apple Watch I was attempting to charge, both ports stopped working and it gave off a burning smell.

So, yea, nah. Another off-brand Apple Watch charger I bought the same week also went extremely hot the moment I tried to charge a watch so I immediately returned that too. The only non-Apple Apple Watch charger I've bought was a #UGREEN one and that was perfect, expectedly since it was #MFI certified. The only issue with UGREEN's watch charger is that they don't sell it as a cable but rather as a 'USB stick'.

SO. Lesson of the story: buy MFI-certified Apple Watch chargers. Luckily for me, #Shopee 's return process is a freaking breeze - I clicked a button, filled in the return form, and arranged a pickup for tomorrow where their driver will come and take the parcel back from me, and have my refund approved the same day. Even then, just not worth the hassle. Fuck #Mcdodo (what a name, these brands).

Is there an #Apple/#MFI certified USB-C to Lightning (or the other way around) adapter? Ideally usable for both charging and data transfer.

The only one I could find is this from #BOUTOP (never heard of em before), but they're only on #Amazon lol so the shipping cost is a lot more than the actual cost of the adapter. Not that bad of a price tho, ~RM50 total for 2.

That being said, even this MFI certified one does not support data transfer, only charging. The goal is so that I could bring a single USB-C cable, and still be able to use it for older iPhones or Lightning devices.

Update: Ok, supposedly, according to reviews I'm seeing on the listing as well as a separate listing elsewhere - it might actually support data transfer?

Just heavily advertised as, not, to deter people from thinking it could do things a regular USB-C to Lightning cable couldn't like for OTG, headphones, etc.

Anyway, ordered em since I'm not even sure an alternative that is MFI-certified exists. The price, honestly isn't that bad either - even with the pricey shipping. For 2, it's ~RM50 bucks. A non-MFI certified one I found on #Shopee from China/Malaysia is like ~RM30 a piece, before shipping (tho shipping's always free, so).
