what does oem mean for cell phone accessories

OEM stands for “Original Equipment Manufacturer.” In the context of cell phone accessories, it refers to a company that produces parts or products that are then branded and sold by another company. For example, a cell phone manufacturer might contract with an OEM to produce a specific type of case or charger that is then sold under the cell phone manufacturer’s brand. The OEM is the original manufacturer of the product, but the product is sold and marketed as if it were made by the company that is selling it.
