Hi,


how can I confirm whether the serial number on my lightning cable is genuine

my original cable broke so I got a new one, so replaced it and now want to confirm if it’s a orignal



couldn’t distinguish thorough product genuine guide


so wanted to confirm if there is any way I can check if the serial number of my lightning cable is genuine

Sorry, but Apple does not provide us with a means to verify an Apple Lightning charging cable is an original by its serial number. As Katana-San has already mentioned, if you got this replacement cable directly from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller, than it will be an original Apple product. If not, it could be a fake.
