Fake type-c cable ? Hello, so i bought a cable type-c to type-c for my iPad from a store in my country online. When i received my order the cable came without the box, and the inside look different than the original one. When i bought it they litteraly put « original apple ». I send them a message but they said that they ordered them directly from apple and without the box for more ecologic ways. I’m still kind of suspicious because i know that apple has a strict way to do their product so when something is different it may be fake. Can someone who knows better can tell me if this is a fake please ? I’m not trynna use a fake charger and break my product. the product on the left is the « fake » one the one on the right is my real charger that came with the ipad. I would really be grateful if y’all could please tell me if this is a real one.

It will depend on the fake one. Regardless, an iPhone has a built-in charger that will not accept more charging current than it needs. The unit you are referring to would be a power adapter, not an actual charger.
