Dark Souls Is Easy

2021-02-23

Verified purchase

Hello everyone.
In this review, I would like to "open the eyes" of future buyers of this specific charger so that they don't make the same mistake as me. Before I begin, let me mention that the charger (we are talking about the genuine one) does its job perfectly fine on the iPhone 12, it has a nice sturdy construction, and it charges my device very quickly for my own use. Unfortunately, there are many good imitations of the genuine charger out there, and only in the details can one realize that something is not right.
Firstly, the box.
The differences between the imitation box and the genuine one are as follows:
1) In the imitation, EVERYWHERE, the font, various graphics, etc. are considerably darker compared to the genuine one (the differences can be seen in the photos).
2) On the back of the box, the genuine one does NOT have the CE symbols and the recycling symbol, but only at the bottom (You can understand what I'm talking about by looking at the photos)
Now, opening the box (here it becomes very interesting)
1) The genuine charger should have 2 protective films, with the larger one faintly showing "Apple inc., One Apple Park Way. Cupertino, CA 95014 USA". The imitation only has a small film, and of course, the above text is not written.
2) In my case, the imitation had small pieces of plastic inside the type-C port.
3) (The most important for me) The imitation does NOT have the warranty and device specifications booklets inside, only the user manual booklet (the genuine charger should have a total of 3 booklets). So, if your charger only had one booklet inside, I'm sorry but it is not genuine. (The booklets that should be in the genuine charger can be seen in the photos)
A useful video: https://youtu.be/pzqwtHLeojw
I hope I helped, pay attention to what you are buying because unfortunately, the price of the genuine and the imitation is very close, so it doesn't raise suspicions that something is wrong.

***UPDATE***
***It seems that there are many imitations of the genuine charger circulating, some with two or even one booklet inside, or small differences on the exterior of the box. The above text refers to the imitation that I came across.***

Very careful attention is given to imitations, resulting in the terminals of the socket coming off after a short period of time. In my personal experience, both terminals remained inside the socket.

  This review is about a variation of the product

  Perfect, bought for iPhone 16, it has the iPhone logo and the authenticity stickers when you open the box.

  It broke the piece that goes inside the socket. It might have been a bit of a "tight" socket, but I don't consider what happened to be good

  I have been using the charger for 1.5 years on an iPhone 14 and it is really very good and does fast charging.

  My sister bought the same charger 3 years ago for an iPhone 13 and after about 2 years it just stopped charging! She got the same one without having any problems so far, but IMPORTANT keep the box/receipt somewhere for the warranty in case you need it.

  I'm afraid I fell for a counterfeit since for the first 2-3 months it charged the phone normally, while now to "catch" the charger you need to know some sleight of hand. The phone definitely has no problem as it immediately connects to third-party chargers and the authentic Apple charger that was tested by others

  The charger they brought me was NOT genuine.... be careful with your purchases.. It's better to spend a little more money than to throw 10 euros in the trash...

  I didn't expect it to last a lifetime, but it literally lasted exactly 1 month, unacceptable. It just stopped working.

  I received it yesterday, in careful packaging and in its box, it looks authentic from sm-shop. I highly recommend it, with the new cables I got it fully charged my phone in 1:30 hours, the same for the iPad.

  The charger is amazing (the original). Fortunately, from the store where I ordered it, I received the original. So be careful with the imitations and verify with the purchase if the model A2347 is written on the charger and not something else.

  Beware of imitations of the authentic product.

  I initially received a product that was not authentic. See the photos.

  Read the reviews written by other users carefully.

  To start, I had the old charger (5w) that I had from the iPhone 8 Plus and I was using it to charge the iPhone 14 as well. As soon as I got this one, it is really very good and fast. With the old one, the phone charged in over 3 hours, while with this one it takes about 1 hour.

  It charges the iPhone 12pro just fine quickly. It works well with the wireless charging adapter too. Pay attention to the connection cable; it plays a big role, especially in fast charging.

  I will specifically refer to what I received. While it showed that it was charging and a typical charge time is about half an hour, within that half hour it only increased by 2 to 3 percentage points. For example, from 20% it went to 23%, then after about 15 days it completely stopped charging.

  It's not genuine, but it does its job well; I've been using it for 6 months without any problems... 3 stars because they sell it as genuine; otherwise, for 10 euros, it's a fair imitation, and I would give it 5 stars if it were clear

  It is very good especially if you have the new iPhone or tablet. It is worth the money. The good thing is that it is 20 watts, which charges well and quickly.

  The charger is an imitation of the genuine Apple product,having different serial numbers and overheating at a glimpse of time makes it obvious. Furthermore the quality of the built materials speaks out loud that it’s fake!

  Don’t waste your money, buy from an authorized shop that you trust!

  Very good charger! Charges a Samsung quickly, doesn't get too hot but it's logical for a charger to get warm during the summer. Value for money!

  Guys, the charger works great, it charges in 1:30 hours. It's authentic, I checked everything, the phone doesn't get hot while charging. One more thing I want to mention, it really matters if it's original or not, where you buy it from. As for durability, only time will tell.

  I expected it to be an imitation, but it seems genuine. Also, the serial numbers were the same between the adapter and the box. Additionally, I bought the one that cost 10 euros and not more. I used it once for charging, no high temperature or anything! I won't say much due to just one charge... I will update later on!

  It takes three to four hours to charge my iPad and after 5 minutes of charging, it overheats excessively. I have had it for three weeks and it has been charged about 6 times in total and now it doesn't work.

  Well, be careful what you buy. I received a random imitation charger, I don't want to mention the store because the kids are not to blame for being sold these. The genuine one costs 35€ from Apple, so be careful what you buy because the health of your iPhone's battery will be destroyed in a very short period of time. Stay away from the 10€ one
