Apple has recently posted a new support document for its customers who own an Apple Watch. The document cautions users about the dangers of using chargers that are not from Apple or lack MFi certification. According to Apple, using a counterfeit or uncertified charger could result in slow charging, repeated chimes, and reduced battery lifespan. [\u2026]<\/p>\n
To ensure that you\u2019re using a legitimate Apple Watch charger, Apple has provided the following guidelines. Authentic Apple Watch chargers from the company are always white, while unauthorized chargers come in different colors. Additionally, legitimate chargers will have one of the following model numbers printed on the cable: A1570, A1598, A1647, A1714, A1768, A1923, A2055, A2056, A2086, A2255, A2256, A2257, A2458, A2515, A2652, or A2879.<\/p>\n
To check the authenticity of your Apple Watch charger, you can use your Mac by following these steps:
\n\u2013 Plug in your Apple Watch charging cable to your Mac.
\n\u2013 Select \u201cApple menu\u201d > \u201cSystem Settings\u201d > \u201cGeneral\u201d in the sidebar.
\n\u2013 Click \u201cAbout\u201d on the right and then click on \u201cSystem Report\u201d and \u201cUSB.\u201d
\n\u2013 Select the watch charger and look for the name of the manufacturer. It should say \u201cApple\u201d to be authentic.<\/p>\n
For third-party Apple Watch chargers, look for packaging that includes the \u201cMade for Watch\u201d badge with the Apple logo. If these badges are missing, it\u2019s recommended to return the charger to the place of purchase.<\/p>\n
Lastly, users can visit a specific website provided by Apple to search for and verify the certification of their Apple Watch charger or any Apple-certified accessory. If the charger is not listed, it may be time to invest in an authentic Apple Watch charger.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
