    It's very possible it is not. A lot of aftermarket chargers will not work with the iPhone. And it is a good thing as well because they can harm the phones battery. With the bigger named brands known for making reliable iPhone parts you won't have this issue. Out of curiosity, what is the brand of the charger you are using?

    Just toss it and buy a Belkin or other name brand one that supports the iPhone
