Real vs Fake Apple Magsafe Charger for iPhone
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2022
- To be able to spot a counterfeit, you really need to know what the genuine looks like. I learned this lesson the hard way in my recent quest for a MagSafe Charger for my iPhone.

Great video, thanks !
Thanks! This helped a lot!
Thanks for taking the time to comment Nitro. That's encouraging.
Great vid thanks, same thing on eBay total fake “Genuine apple charger”
Thanks for this! I got mine from amazon and literally everything was the same as the apple charger. The only thing that made me suspicious was how weak the magnets were.
Can you tell me if the real one gets hot with charging for some time? I had an anker one which would briefly stop charging due to the heat.
Hmmm. I tested mine just now. I usually have in that stand I demonstrated, so I never touch the magnet. I went from 69% to 77% in less than 10 minutes and the puck was warm. You might even call it very warm. But I wouldn't go as far as calling it hot. Does yours show the Apple SN in Settings... General... About...?
@@TomQsTechTips Ahh I see, glad it doesn't get as hot.
I checked mine and they didn't show themselves in the settings. I asked for a return, so hopefully will get the refund.
What was the charger model number? a2548 or a2140? Just want this information to know which model is the latest. thanks
Mine is a2140. See 11:20. I don’t know if it is the latest but as far as I know, there’s not a new model number.
Where did you buy the charger stand please.thanks.
Hi lucky - I got it from Amazon. The link is in the description.
Mine was charging fast enough box the same with the original and magnet is strong, also the documentations but in the setting it doesnt reflect. My phone runs ios 15.7.1 did i got a fake one? Thanks
Maybe. But perhaps it doesn’t matter if it’s really doing the job well. Does it get hot?
Mine doesn’t show on settings as well. I just bought (sold and delivered) mine on Amazon.
Not sure if it’s fake or not.
Just a small update: it worked pretty fine once I connected it on my MacBook. That start showing it’s informations on settings.
Hi I got scammed and got a fake one, do you know if this can damage either iPhone or AirPods battery long term?
I don’t think that there is anything inherently dangerous about a 3rd party charger. Billions of non-Apple Lightning charging cables have been sold over the years and I would venture to say that most of them have been harmless and have actually done the job for a fair price. What is going on here is that manufacturers/sellers are cheating Apple AND consumers by pretending to be something better than what they are, thus inflating the price. If mine had had decent magnetic grip and charged at 30w I might have kept it.
Having said all of that, some poorly made electrical products are risky. So keep an eye on it. Make sure that it doesn’t get dangerously hot.
I didn’t understand, should the real one have pull tab or it shouldn’t? How much did you pay for the real one? Thanks for the answer.
BOTH the real and the fake had the pull tab, so that can't be an indicator. I've had comments that said their packaging was even more convincing than my fake one. The 2 biggest things for me was the magnetic hold (or lack thereof) of the fake one and the slowness of the charging, If the fake factory had gotten those things right, I probably wouldn't have cared.. I think I paid about $38 for the real one at Best Buy. Apple suggested price is $39.
@@TomQsTechTipsIt would be easy to spot the fake if I had the charger itself in my hands, but the problem is I am trying to order it online. Is it possible that the original charger could be only 20$? I don’t believe in that, although looking at the box it looks legit.
Is a fake one worth it or does it destroy the battery? I just bought one but I'm afraid that the health of the battery will decrease.
There’s not necessarily anything wrong with a third-party charger. There are tons of them legitimately on the market and some of them work well. It’s just frustrating when you pay more for what you think is an apple product and you get something inferior.
Thank you! I identified fake too. But my packaging was far more elaborate.
I’m curious to know how you identified it as fake? did it not charge quickly? Did the magnet not hold well?
@@TomQsTechTips what happened if you use the fake one, is it have a negative effect to phone?
Fake mandarin since ancient dimes
🧐 No idea what that means.
