People’s desire to save can lead to some not so pleasant consequences, as mean, as you know, pays twice. This largely relates to the acquisition of accessories and headsets for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, in particular, Lightning cable.
The difference in price on the official cable from Apple and its Chinese copy significant. While the original will cost the user $20, forgery can be ordered via the Internet in just $3.5 m. Exactly the same is the cost of “native” Lightning, much of the cost of a copy of the Chinese craftsmen and do not want to think.
Those who believe that you can seriously save on this accessory, and that Apple already quite knows no bounds with such draconian prices, should think twice before turning to the Chinese. Production technology of Chinese copies of Lightning not only leaves much to be desired. She has blatant flaws that are detected only when using, although in appearance it does not differ from the original.
And anyway, why purchase top-end smartphone for a thousand dollars may be accompanied by the acquisition of low-quality accessories for three and a half penny? Probably because someone took the credit for two years with the insurance, an additional guarantee of five years, the decal film and setting up Internet. But if you stepped into the store and just bought the iPhone for honestly earned and not even saved, be good to meet.
Here are three reasons to pay more for quality cable for iPhone, with warranty and certification.
1. Rapid wear
Chinese cable that does not disintegrate, does not flake, does not fall apart, do not break the insulation at the joints – it’s fantastic. In the truest sense of the word. Rough shoelaces Lightning, sold wholesale at the nickle apiece. always die before the quality certified cables.
And well, when the reason is obvious: for example, the fracture is at the plug, damaged crookedly soldered the contacts inside. But equally often, they just stop working. For no apparent reason. If there be no lace on the replacement, you could potentially be left without connection and are forced to either go to the store, or wait for handouts from others.
2. The risk of damaging the hardware
Many still remember the story of how a Chinese woman was electrocuted using iPhone connected to a fake charging using non-original cable. As a rule, active users of pure Chinese chargers and cables off a little softer, but still with unpleasant consequences. Often tortured chip power, is not able to cope with fluktatsii voltage, just dies, eroding or dilating the battery.
It is believed that most cases of spontaneous combustion of iPhone and iPad arise from the use of low-quality, non-certified cables and chargers. And well, if the iPhone will just be ripped apart, but if he quietly hiss and is lighted at night near the bed…
3. The risk of losing compatibility
Today you are pleased with a cheap Lightning, and tomorrow will be released iOS 9.1 and it never will work. Starting with iOS 7, Apple mobile device literally swear by fake sync cables.
The secret is partly in the fact that in the original and certified cables installed identification chips. In his spare time the Chinese to save them, and so most of the fake Lightning cables will not work with the modern iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. And even if you are, there is no guarantee that forever: Apple theoretically could kill even them, releasing a patch for your firmware.
