Joining the Apple MFi Accessory Certification Program has always been free, but according to the latest news, Apple is charging a fee. It is reported that Apple will charge all accessory manufacturers certified and become members of the MFi program an annual fee of $99 (about 668 yuan), plus any applicable taxes. According to Apple’s description in the email, the validity period of MFi membership will be calculated from the date of registration, and it will be renewed and renewed every year. If the annual fee is not paid within the validity period of the membership, the existing membership will be terminated. In order to prevent manufacturers from forgetting to renew the fee, Apple also said that it will send emails 30 days, 15 days and 5 days before the due date of the annual fee to remind manufacturers to pay the fee. In fact, it is not without warning that Apple began to collect MFi membership annual fees this time. In April 2020, when MFi was upgraded to version 7.0, Apple mentioned that the follow-up plan will charge MFi members a nominal annual fee, which may be to standardize the application process for MFi plan members and make it easier to manage. .
