20W Usb-c Power Adapter Authenticity

I bought an adapter at shopee but I am not sure about the authenticity as it seems a bit different from the one I purchased with my iphone. Safety mark is different. My previous one was 200982 something then the new one was 200441 while both are 20W just different year even though I bought the old around May and new just this October.

can anyone tell if this is real? I thought it is so I bought it as I needed extra. The cable connecter also a bit different. It cost about 26-27 after applying shopee voucher. Just checking out if it is safe at all to use.

There is nothing about this one the Authenticity check page though. Another person has asked and I was brought back to the same page without this information at all.

Ya. That’s what brought me here. The grounding pin was also slanted a bit. Wasted half a day just to find out about this.

I didn’t know about counterfeit with exact packaging could happened until I saw some post that there might be risk of it. That’s the start of the restless lookout about the difference.

I have seen the links before. It doesn’t have anything about the plug. Don’t see anything about the cable connector side. I think that is the difference between the worst counterfeit comparison.

It is working and charging though but not sure about if it is safe at all. Just worry if it caused fire. Seems like no one can really tell the real one from fake one. Watched some video, the original old one seems like fake in some but real in some. Just worry it caused fire for the price of an iPhone and a fake adapter.

I don’t find anything about MFi badge on both packaging even though one of it is directly from Apple. The cable, mine has Apple logo in front of the printing. Measurements for cable like 7.7 x 12 mm not sure what is this. I tried measuring but none of the dimension I measured matched.

Hello,

Start here:

Identify counterfeit or uncertified Lightning connector accessories

Otherwise, does it work OK? If yes, try not to worry too much.

Good luck.
