Users are not allowed 3rd party chargers to work on Apple devices in most cases both lightning and 30-pin – that stopped charging iOS devices and now iPhone cable not charging. Using unauthorized chargers by a third-party is risky for security reasons, some iPhones using these have been causing injures and even deaths (Read about it here). The reason for this is because Apple uses MFi licenses so all Apple products have been tested to prevent damage to both you and your iPhone or iPad.

To prevent iPhone users from extra risks with 3rd party chargers, the new iOS 7 has technology that will prevent its users to charge their smartphones using fake cables. There is code in iOS 7 that tells the firmware if there is an authenticator chip in the charger and only Apple USB chargers has this chip.
