wouldn't the fake ones be more durable? Every apple cable anyone and everyone has ever had just disintegrates because of p l a n t s

[yomurita]

Apple ones are made of gum and held together by praying, "more durable" my ass lmfao

[GlowBerryPlayz]

Simple you just unscrew the cable and look for the apple chip, wait oh

I’ve never had a lightening cable more durable than the ones I got from Best Buy. The one I have now is two years old, and I’m ROUGH on cables!

“The Apple cables are more durable”
Are you sure about that? Apple cables aren’t durable!

"Real ones are much more durable" bro u know damn well that ain't true😭😭😭😂

[ArtikSlash]

"much more durable" HAHAHAHAHAHAH good joke

I don't own an iphone but most of my friends that have iphone use third party cables because the ones that comes in the box literally just "destroyed" within few months usage.

"The real ones are much more durable"

Ah yes, the cables that break within one year of use are called *"durable"*

[IntegraDIY]

You can easily tell by the outer sheath.. fake cables are more smoother and harder, Apple is more grippy and flexible.. even hood fakes are slightly harder outer sheathing.

Honestly, I use fake iPhone cables sometimes and some of them are good but some wanna kill your battery so stay away if your an iPhone user.
I would prefer you to use a good third party charger like Anker or otter, or go with apples genuine chargers.

I wish this was an accurate tool. But I just bought four Apple cables from Amazon that I know are fake but they show up as genuine. The clones are getting that good

Me: *Marvels about how I have the same computer he does*

Sometimes knowing if something is genuine is important but more important is knowing how durable the cables are. "Fake" cables can be a better investment and last longer.

Quite often "fake" cables are more durable than the original ones. Originals last me a month or 2, where Caseco branded cables lasted me about 6 months.

I mean I’m not gonna lie I’m not spending $30 on Apple cable I’m a go to Walmart and get a 10 foot pink one

[MattRobloxYT]

I love how I always hear the word "fake" everywhere.

[rushilkisoon]

* the fake ones are more durable than the original Apple ones… the Apple cables fall apart if you look at them wrong

[Knicks]

I do the magnet test I noticed mfi cables stick to magnets

As long as it charges my phone, I won’t be complaining
