Oh, for whatever reason, they made a decision a long time ago to not support direct lightening connection. That was originally part of the early Wave and Stream campaigns but was later dropped. I have no idea why, as they've claimed to be mFi certified, as least at one point in campaign histories.
Using the CCK is definitely annoying.
From all the manufacturers that I know I've learned that Apple's process for mFi certification is really intrusive and painful. At least one told me "if I knew beforehand all that it would take I never would have done it". For some it's a question of time and resources, for others it's a question of IP, as Apple appears to require all technical information about a product. Why LHL didn't I'm not sure.
There are other options though. Companies like Lavricable make a Lightning to USB micro cable that includes the required chip in it. Here's their eBay listing number (172046678763)
although note the price in the listing is not the real price). You can search for other users of the cable here on HF, especially in the Chord Mojo thread.
Cheers
