Overview
These guidelines explain the correct use of the MFi and AirPlay logos and
provide marketing guidelines related to their use. To help maintain
the strength of the iPod, iPhone, iPad, MFi, and AirPlay brands, it is important
to follow these guidelines consistently.
The MFi logos
The MFi logos are designed to communicate that an
accessory is compatible with iPod, iPhone, or iPad.
MFi multiple-product logos provided by Apple can
be used only when your company’s Licensed Product
is compatible with more than one of these Apple
products (see “MFi Logos” on page 4).
Who can use the MFi logos?
The logos shown in these guidelines must be used
only in connection with accessories that have been
approved as Licensed Products in accordance with
the MFi/Made for iPod License Agreement (and,
where applicable, the iPhone/iPad Supplement or
AirPlay Supplement) signed by Apple.
The appropriate MFi logo must be printed on the
packaging of a Licensed Product. The MFi logo may
also be used in the user guide and other Licensed
Product–related communications.
The AirPlay logo
The AirPlay logo is designed to communicate that an
accessory is compatible with AirPlay.
Who can use the AirPlay logo?
The AirPlay logo must be used with AirPlay-enabled
accessories that have been approved as Licensed
Products in accordance with the MFi/Made for iPod
License Agreement (and, where applicable, the
iPhone/iPad Supplement or AirPlay Supplement)
signed by Apple.
The MFi logo and AirPlay logo must be printed on
the packaging of a Licensed Product that implements
AirPlay technology. The MFi logo and AirPlay logo
may also be used in the user guide and other
Licensed Product–related communications.
MFi Identity Guidelines
The information in these guidelines is subject to
change. Refer to the MFi Portal for updates.
Important: Failure to adhere to these guidelines may
result in the revocation of your MFi License.

regarding these guidelines or the MFi Program.
Additional MFi Program information and MFi logo
artwork files for download can be found in the
MFi Portal.

AirPlay Logo
Examples
AirPlay
On packages the AirPlay logo can be placed on the front
panel. It should be clearly subordinate in both size and
position to the company or Licensed Product identity.
The AirPlay logo should be the same height as the MFi
logo when it appears next to the MFi logo; see “Graphic

Printing on cardboard or colored stock
When printing on plain cardboard shipping or packing
boxes or on colored paper stock, it is acceptable for the
color of the stock to show through the AirPlay logo and MFi

Featuring Apple Products
Basics
Apple products can be used only to clarify that
your accessory works with or connects to the
Apple product.
Photography
If you photograph an Apple product with a
Licensed Product, follow the guidelines on page 14.
Do not use the power of the Apple brand to
enhance your package or communication.
For example:
Illustration
Use line art illustrations of Apple products only
in an instructional manner to clarify how your
accessory works with the Apple product. Line art
illustrations should be simple and straightforward in
style, without embellishments or special illustration
techniques.
• An Apple product image should not dominate
your layout.
• Do not show multiple Apple products unless
necessary to clarify how your accessory works.
• Do not emphasize or focus on the Apple logo on
Apple products.
Do not separate the line drawing from an MFi logo
for use on your layout. Do not use Apple-provided
compatibility icons as illustrations.
Do not imitate Apple packaging or marketing
communications. Your packaging and promotions
should reflect the style of your company and
Licensed Product brands.
Do not use a Myriad font to name or describe Apple
products in text. Use typography that conforms with
the type style of your communications.

Featuring Apple Products
Product Screens
Follow these guidelines for images shown on Apple
product screens.
• The Apple product’s most current default Home
screen can be shown with the backlight on.
• If the status bar is clearly visible, make sure that the
battery and Wi-Fi icons are full and that no carrier
name is displayed.
• Album art can be shown on an Apple product
screen provided that your company has the rights
to use it.
Copyright-protected artwork
Promotional imagery from the entertainment
industry is usually copyright protected. Copyright
protection is granted to album cover art, music and
movie promotional material, photos of artists and
entertainment industry professionals, and many
promotional images and videos. Anytime copyrightprotected imagery is displayed on an iPod, iPhone, or
iPad screen in your communications, your company
must have sufficient rights and privileges to use that
imagery. If your company does not have the rights to
use the imagery, it must be removed and replaced.
• If you are a developer with an approved app in
the App Store or the Mac App Store, imagery
that appears naturally onscreen while the app
is running can be shown on the Apple product
screen.
On the Apple product screen, display neutral imagery that
does not detract from your accessory. You must own display
rights and privileges for any imagery shown. The simple
landscape shown in this example allows viewers to focus
on the MFi accessory. Video functionality is indicated by the
inclusion of video controls.
• User interface functions, such as an iOS keyboard,
can be shown only if they are pertinent to your
MFi accessory.
• Do not show a blank screen.

Editorial Guidelines
Requirements
You may use the name iPod, iPhone, or iPad (or a
combination of two or more names) in a referential
phrase on your packaging to indicate that the
Licensed Product is compatible with the Apple
product or products mentioned, provided that you
comply with the following requirements:
• iPod, iPhone, or iPad is not part of your accessory
name, model number, or SKU.
• iPod, iPhone, or iPad is used in a referential phrase
such as “for use with,” “for,” or “compatible with.”
• iPod, iPhone, or iPad is less prominent than your
accessory name.
iPod, iPhone, iPad
When using the names iPod, iPhone, and iPad in
headlines or body copy, always typeset a lowercase
i and an uppercase P followed by lowercase letters.
The name iPod, iPhone, or iPad should start with
a lowercase i even when it is the first word in a
sentence, paragraph, or title.
AirPlay
When using the name AirPlay in headlines or body
copy, always typeset AirPlay as one word with an
uppercase A and uppercase P.
Do
• Always use the Apple product names iPhone, iPad,
and iPod in singular form. Never say iPhones, iPads,
or iPods.
• Typeset all headlines and body copy in your
promotions in a manner that is consistent with
your company’s identity. Match the font used in
the rest of your communication when typesetting
Apple product names and trademarks.
• When using Apple trademarks in text, spell them
exactly as shown on the Apple Trademark List at
www.apple.com/legal/trademark/appletmlist.html.
• Attribute Apple trademarks with the correct credit
lines as described on page 20. For more information,
refer to the “Guidelines for Using Apple Trademarks
and Copyrights” at www.apple.com/legal/
trademark/guidelinesfor3rdparties.html.
• In communications distributed only in the United
States, the appropriate symbol (™, SM, or ®) must
follow each Apple trademark the first time it is
mentioned in body copy.
Don’t
• Do not translate iPod, iPhone, iPad, AirPlay, Lightning,
or any other Apple trademark. Always set Apple
trademarks in English, even when they appear
within text in a language other than English.
• Do not copy or imitate Apple advertising,
marketing, or messaging for iPhone, iPad, iPod,
or AirPlay.
• Do not use headlines, copy, icons, or images from
Apple’s website at www.apple.com or from iTunes,
the App Store, or the Mac App Store.
• Do not refer to Apple operating systems
without also including the relevant Apple
products to describe compatibility. See
“Compatibility Messaging” on page 19.
• Do not list Apple product names that are not
compatible with your accessory.
• Do not imitate Apple typography. Your
messaging should match the typographical
style of the rest of your communication.
• Do not indicate any kind of sponsorship or
endorsement by Apple.
Never use the AirPlay logo within headlines or
body copy in place of the name AirPlay. Use the
name AirPlay in text when it appears in headlines
or body copy.

Compatibility Messaging
iPod, iPhone, and iPad
iPod, iPhone, and iPad models
To communicate which iPod, iPhone, and iPad
models are supported by your Licensed Product, list
the model names or use the icons provided by Apple
(see “Apple-provided compatibility icons” to the
right). Display either the model names or the icons,
not both. Model names are provided on page 18.
If you are listing more than three models for a
product, you can list the lowest ordinal number
through the highest ordinal number followed by the
word generation. For example, to list five generations
for iPod nano, it is acceptable to say: iPod nano (2nd
through 6th generation). Do not substitute a dash
or a hyphen for the word through.
If your Licensed Product is compatible with multiple
Apple products (iPhone, iPad, iPod), list the iPhone
model names, then the iPad model names, then the
iPod model names.
It is preferred that generation is spelled in full. The
word generation can be abbreviated as gen only
when layout space is extremely limited, such as on
very small packaging.
It is preferred that models are listed with one model
name on each line. Do not combine multiple model
designations in a listing. For example, do not say:
iPhone 5 and 4S. List each product separately:
Some models, such as iPod with video, vary in
thickness according to capacity. If your accessory is
thickness specific, identify the supported thicknesses
by listing the capacities in gigabytes. Capacities
should be placed in parentheses following the model
description. Separate capacities with commas (don’t
use and) and end with the word only—for example:
iPod with video (30GB only) or iPod with video (60GB,
80GB only).
• iPhone 5
• iPhone 4S
If layout space does not accommodate a list, the
model names can be placed in one or more lines of
text with commas separating the names. Place the
generations in sequence from lowest to highest. If
models are placed in a line of text, make sure the
length of the line provides clear legibility. Extremely
long lines of text can be difficult to read.
Apple-provided compatibility icons
Apple provides line art icons to represent the
different iPod, iPhone, and iPad models for the
purpose of indicating compatibility only. These
icons are for use only on Licensed Product–related
communications, including advertising, packaging,
manuals, and web pages. The icons cannot be placed
permanently on the accessory itself. Do not affix the
icons to your packaging with a sticker. They must be
incorporated into the packaging layout and printed
on the package.
Use the Apple product icons only to indicate
accessory compatibility. Do not use the icons as
illustrations. The compatibility icons must be used in
a manner consistent with the “iPod, iPhone, and iPad
Icons Guidelines” and the “Guidelines for Using Apple
Trademarks and Copyrights” at www.apple.com/legal/
trademark/guidelinesfor3rdparties.html. An icon may
not be used as a trademark for your accessory or
services, including any usage as part of an accessory
or company name or any usage that could serve as a
source identifier for your accessory.
You can download artwork for the icons along with
guidelines from the MFi Portal.
To place more than two generations on the same line
of text, follow each ordinal number by a comma and
place the word and before the last ordinal number. Do
not use an ampersand. For example, to list three iPod
nano generations, say: iPod nano (5th, 6th, and 7th
generation).

Legal Requirements
Apple requirements
Apple product images and the MFi and AirPlay logos
described in these guidelines cannot be used in any
manner that falsely suggests an association with
Apple or is likely to reduce, diminish, or damage the
goodwill, value, or reputation associated with the MFi
Program, AirPlay, or Apple itself.
Your marketing and advertising materials should
reflect your company’s communication style. Never
copy or imitate Apple communications.
Legal notice
When using an MFi single-product logo or multipleproduct logo, include the appropriate version of
the legal notice below on all printed materials
and wherever legal information appears on other
communications. (For Licensed Product packaging,
the notice can be placed either on the package or on
the user guide or other material inside the package.)
Spell out the appropriate logo names and use correct
Apple product names.
“Made for iPod,” “Made for iPhone,” and “Made for
iPad” mean that an electronic accessory has been
designed to connect specifically to iPod, iPhone,
or iPad, respectively, and has been certified by the
developer to meet Apple performance standards.
Apple is not responsible for the operation of this
device or its compliance with safety and regulatory
standards. Please note that the use of this accessory
with iPod, iPhone, or iPad may affect wireless
performance.
Trademark symbols and credit lines
In communications distributed only in the United
States, the appropriate symbol (™, SM, or ®) must follow
each Apple trademark the first time it is mentioned in
body copy—for example:
AirPlay®
iPad®
iPhone®
iPod®
iPod classic®
iPod nano®
iPod shuffle®
iPod touch®
Lightning™
Refer to the Apple Trademark List at www.apple.com/
legal/trademark/appletmlist.html for the correct
trademark symbol. Do not add a symbol to the MFi
or AirPlay logo artwork provided by Apple.
For advertising, follow standard practices for the
placement of legal copy, such as creating additional
screens or providing interactive links to legal copy.
With Apple’s approval, a translation of the legal
notice and credit lines (but not the trademarks) can
be used in materials distributed outside the U.S.
Never translate an Apple trademark.
