Unfortnately, none of us are counterfeit detectors.


Counterfeits can outwardly appear identical to the “real thing”


Apple devices are pricy. Skimping on cables and power adaptors can be false economy.


Even if they don’t “damage” your device, they might not perform to design specs. (e.g. slow charging, slow data, erratic behavior, etc.)


If there is doubt in your mind - and there obviously is - you shouldn’t use it and simply purchase from a reputable vendor.
