Phase 1 feels like an endless ocean of white iPhone cables. ## 1. Key Categories * **Cables:** USB-C, Lightning (MFi Certified vs. Non-MFi). * **Chargers:** GaN (Gallium Nitride) chargers are the standard now. 65W and 100W are hot. * **Power Banks:** MagSafe wireless power banks. * **Cases:** TPU, Silicone, Leather. ## 2. MFi Certification (Made for iPhone) * **The Trap:** Many factories put the "MFi" logo on their booth. * **The Check:** Ask for their MFi ID number. Verify it on Apple's public portal. If they sell you a non-MFi chip cable claiming it's MFi, your customers will get the "Accessory Not Supported" error in 2 months. ## 3. GaN Chargers * Dongguan and Shenzhen are the hubs. * **Safety:** Chargers can burn houses down. Insist on **UL / ETL** (for USA) or **CE-LVD** (for Europe). * **Price:** If a 100W charger is $3.00, it is a fake. It's likely 20W inside a big shell. ## 4. MOQs * **Custom Packaging:** The cable is cheap ($1). The box is expensive. MOQs for custom retail packaging are usually 3,000 units. * **Neutral:** You can buy "Neutral" (no logo) packaging for 100 units. ## Summary Volume is key. You make pennies per unit.
