A lot of people are getting charged up by the latest iOS upgrade. Or rather should I say downgrade. Alongside an infestation of bugs is an issue with using an uncertified charger or cable with your iPhone or iPad.<\/p>\n

Apple likes to keep its loyal followers under a strict dictatorship. Only Apple should be allowed to profit from any accessory related to their products. I mean, why should people use more reliable, sturdy and cheaper chargers when they can pay a small fortune for Apple’s cheap and glitchy chargers? Steve Jobs would applaud at the profit-maximisation.<\/p>\n

But the general population? We aren’t so impressed. Deciding to buy a non-certified charger was one of my best money saving decisions this year. It worked perfectly fine and was sturdy enough to take on trips without worrying about the charger doing\u00a0the thing.\u00a0<\/em>Any Apple device owner knows all too well what the thing is.

When this happens your charger is as good as dead. But my trusty and admittedly uncertified charger worked like a charm. Until I updated took the bullet in the Russian Roulette game of updating your Apple device. Here are four\u00a0simple solutions to this issue:<\/p>\n

1. Try Another Charger<\/h2>\n

The problem may not be due to the iOS8 update. So your first call should be to try another charger, if available. If the other charger works and is yours, then just use that charger from now on. If the charger is not yours and the owner wants to hold onto it, then you should look into buying another charger. However if the charger does not work and is certified then the issue may lie closer to home.<\/p>\n

2. Spring Clean<\/h2>\n

Hopefully your problem is able to be solved with a little bit of spring cleaning. The lightning cable may be clogged with dirt or grime preventing it to work efficiently. Your charger may need a clean if:<\/p>\n
