How to Check Original Apple Charger
iZone Digital · Andheri West, Mumbai
The Ultimate Guide: Spotting a Fake Apple Charger
A counterfeit charger isn’t just a waste of money—it destroys your iPhone’s battery health and poses a serious fire hazard. Learn the exact steps to check your adapter, and why buying genuine from iZone Digital is your safest bet.
Why Checking Your Apple Charger Matters
If you’re searching for how to check original apple charger, you’re already making a smart decision. The market in Mumbai is flooded with “first-copy” chargers that look identical to the naked eye but lack Apple’s advanced power management circuitry.
Using a fake charger on a premium device like the iPhone 17 or Google Pixel 9 results in overheating, rapid battery degradation, and potential motherboard damage. At iZone Digital, Mumbai’s trusted authorised premium reseller opposite D.N. Nagar Metro Station, we stock only 100% genuine, box-sealed Apple chargers.
5 Advanced Steps to Identify a Fake Charger
1 The Weight Test
Genuine Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapters are densely packed with safety components. An original weighs approximately 55 grams. Fakes are almost always lighter and feel hollow when tapped.
2 USB-C Port Serial Number
Look directly inside the USB-C slot of the adapter using a flashlight. Original Apple chargers have a unique 17-character serial number laser-etched deep inside the port. Fakes usually leave this blank.
3 The “Designed by Apple” Text
On the bottom of the plug, check the font. Apple uses its proprietary San Francisco font. Counterfeits often have slightly bolder, blurry text, or misspellings like “Designed by Abble in California.”
4 Plug Pins and Finish
The metal prongs on an original adapter have a smooth, matte metallic finish with perfectly rounded tips. Counterfeits are excessively shiny, easily scratched, and have sharp or uneven edges.
5 Packaging & Tear Strips
Original Apple packaging features pull-tabs that tear smoothly and perfectly. The box will have two distinct barcode stickers. If the box is sealed with thick glue or circular tape, it’s a fake.
