How to Spot a Fake Lightning Cable
Fake Lightning cables often work for one week then stop. The MFi chip inside genuine Apple Lightning cables communicates with the iPhone — fakes either have no chip or a counterfeit chip that fails. Signs: connector wobbles in the port, phone shows “This accessory may not be supported,” cable gets hot near the connector.
