Although nothing has been known about accidents with iPhone or iPads due to overheating or overloading of them for a long time, surely you all know of some news about it, even causing death in some of the cases. Using external batteries, cables, or chargers not certified by Apple can cause the device to malfunction, decrease battery life, and even cause the device to overheat and explode. Apple has been very clear about it at all times, even going so far as to change non-original cables for original ones at a very reduced price. Now the company has published on its website very clear instructions on how to identify a certified cable from a non-certified one.

If you're using a counterfeit or uncertified Lightning accessory, you could have these issues:

  • The iOS device could be damaged
  • The cable could be easily damaged
  • The end of the connector could become detached, overheated, or not fit properly in the device.
  • You may not be able to sync or charge your device

The instructions are accompanied by images, and range from how to identify the lightning connector, to the inscriptions made on the connectors, the details of the USB end and the text on the cable packaging. It is important to emphasize the fact that not only does Apple sell certified cables, but any manufacturer that has been licensed and certified by Apple can do soTherefore, there may be many models with different characteristics and prices on the market that give us the same guarantees as the original Apple ones.
