Try to avoid 3rd-party iPhone chargers and cables

MacMedics Locations in Severna Park & Lanham

We hear stories of 3rd-party iPhone chargers and adapters going wrong all the time. As you might expect, we usually tell customers to avoid non-Apple adapters and cables and stick with the genuine Apple accessories. Well, last night after my daughter went off to camp with my Apple charger and cable, I started rooting around for another charger to use. I happened across this one from a while ago. It’s not from the Dollar Store, and it’s a decent and reputable brand. Well, as I was watching TV, I started to smell something. It took a couple of minutes for me to figure out what was making the smell. You guessed it, my backup, 3rd-party adapter.
Moral of the story, stick with Apple, and even when using Apple, please monitor your chargers and cable for issues. If you have a frayed or torn cable or a device or cable that has a dark spot or gets hot, please discontinue use of that device and recycle it here at MacMedics.
