Question

do fake charger harm my iPhone's battery life?

I lost my apple charger so I bought another charger but it's not original. My phone's battery is okay and has no problem. The battery basically drains fast because of cellular data and wifi usage however, this time, my battery drains VERY FAST and it caught my attention. It will only take me an hour to use my phone while on wifi or data. Is my iPhone's problem has something to do with the class A charger? It happened to me before in my 6s plus and now, it happened again in my 7 plus. I was thinking before that maybe it was because of the class A charger but I haven't took it seriously and I became so passive. Can someone help me with this? Pleassse 😭 Thank you apple community 💓

Hello,

If you use a counterfeit or uncertified Lightning accessory, you could see these issues:

Your iOS device could become damaged
The cable might be easily damaged
The connector end might fall off, get very hot, or might not fit properly into your device
You might not be able to sync or charge your device
