With the slew of third-party accessories that we will eventually see, there has to be some way to tell between the good and the bad. Luckily, Apple is introducing the “Works with iPhone” logo, designed to inform consumers regarding accessories that are designed to connect specifically with the iPhone. These premium products are certified by the developer to meet performance standards that have been set by Apple.
Should you happen to connect an uncertified accessory, the iPhone will present the user with an option to go into Airplane Mode. This shuts off the GSM/EDGE radios to avoid any audio interference, which means you’ll be unable to make or receive calls. Of course, you can always be brave and stay in normal mode, but then you might experience audio issues.
Next time you go accessory shopping, look out for the “Works with iPhone” logo.
