Using an uncertified power supply and USB-C cable can cause permanent damage to new Apple smartphones in the iPhone 15 series. reports Business Insider (BI) cites the words of Jessa Jones, owner of the iPad Rehab service center.
Jones said counterfeit chargers and power cords do not have the proper smartphone protection features provided by Apple. Their use therefore carries the risk of damaging the smartphone, for example in the event of a power surge.
“High-end chargers are actually small electronic devices with tiny circuit boards and chips inside. For example, Apple’s official Lightning cable has two chips: one that verifies that the accessory is built to the vendor’s specifications, and the other that acts as a fuse. This way, in the event of a voltage drop, the smartphone stays on.” “Only the charger will break down, not itself,” he said.
Jones also warned that users of uncertified accessories should be especially careful when connecting to public power supplies. These include outlets in hotel rooms, outlets in airplane seats, car consoles and more.
