How are so many companies able to create and sell the same product when patents exist?

Take IPhone chargers for example. There are hundreds of companies in the marketing making simple and cheap IPhone Wireless chargers, some of which are actually better than the cables sold by Apple themselves…. How are they all able to make the same product when patents exist? Does Apple have the patent to the lighting connector and if so why is it not enforced?

Some of the parts are standards (eg various USB standards) while others are made by licensing Apple’s technology (Lightning).
