With the iPhones 15, one of the main novelties was the adoption of the connector USB-C in place of a Lightning port. Even though this makes it possible to use the same cable universally, in several devices, choosing any cable — without paying attention to its manufacturing quality, certifications and the like — can have very harmful consequences.
Proof of this is a case that occurred with a Reddit user identified as “NoisilyMarvellous” and which went viral on the social network. In a posthe reported that he left his iPhone 15 Pro Max recharging overnight and, when disconnecting the cable from the device, the plastic part of the connector was broken. meltedeven burning his finger.
In a later comment, the user revealed that the USB-C cable and charger used were not Apple’s original ones, but generic accessories purchased on Amazon. According to the report, the iPhone had only been used for a month — the cable and charger had been used for months. As it melted, the cable left some marks on the body of the iPhone and inside the USB-C port. The cable connector itself was stuck in the port, with part of the plastic burned.
The user also stated that the Load Optimization feature was enabled. After the incident, he managed to remove the connector, but he is no longer able to charge the iPhone through its USB-C port. In one of the comments made on his post, the user said that he did not imagine that the generic cable would cause problems, but that the accessory “would only conduct energy”.
Although changing the Lightning port to USB-C was a positive thing in terms of allowing the use of the same cable on several devices, it is necessary to pay attention to the quality of the accessories purchased.
Because he used a generic cable, the user most likely will not be able to use Apple’s warranty to repair his device, and he also stated that he does not have an AppleCare+ subscription. Savings on the cable will therefore generate additional expenses, in addition to forcing you to use wireless charging until a repair is made.
Very cheap cable options, which are not from well-known manufacturers and have a factory warranty, can unfortunately end up in situations like the one reported. Check here for good options for USB-C cables to use with your iPhone and avoid unpleasant surprises like this. ????
