Hello all, I bought from eBay a step down converter. It converts the 12v from my car to 5V 2amp. The strange thing is that is does not charge my iPhone, but if I plug in an other USB device, like a powerbank, it charges without problem. Also I checked the output, and that was fine. Why is my iPhone not charging with the step down converter? I am using this kind of converter:
iPhones can be very picky when it gets to accessories. One may be “lucky” and get a working knockoff charger at first try or buy 5 and not find even one working. Being aftermarket chargers and cables well known iPhone killers, especially the ones for cars, I’d recommend investing a few $ more and try to find a real MFI certified charger to get your phone certainly recognized and keep it safe too.
