Hi Ken
What an incredible article, you have truly gone above and beyond. I write the odd article for iPad Repair and many people say the “Charging is not supported with this accessory” is a conspiracy to make you buy Apple products, but it may be that Apple are also looking out for their safety.
It’s surprising just how similar the counterfeit chargers are, we’ve had a few dotted about the place, I find the UK iPhone chargers the most interesting as they can be almost identical. Even the one you have, apart from the color and that it is missing the “Designed by Apple in California”, they are almost identical, genuine ones also say “Emerson Network Power”.
I also didn’t know it could be the charger that stops the touch screen from working, I will remember that as I’m sure it will come up in the future, I’ve learned so much from this article. What are your thoughts on multi charging stations, do you think they may be risking people’s devices?
Best wishes
