How You Can SPOT A FAKE MagSafe Battery Pack From A REAL One: Real vs Fake: What To Look Out For?? 

Hey. Thanx very much for the information. Last night I went to a Best Buy to purchase an Apple MagSafe battery: it was an open box buy. I was surprised at how little it stuck to the back of the phone. Getting familiar with the item I couldn’t figure out why the battery wasn’t showing in the general tab. That’s when I did a search and your video came up. The battery was a counterfeit. Exactly as the one you featured. Someone had scammed Best Buy, purchasing a real MagSafe battery and returning the counterfeit. I took it back and together with heads of the store and their tech I laid out all the indicators in your video. They gave me a refund and I bought an unopened version. At the checkout one of the tech managers asked if I would open the box so they could compare. They were amazed at the differences. Seems they’re putting a memo out to their corporate to be on the look out on returns. What’s sad is someone getting one of these that would never know.

Thank you so much. I would never have known it was fake if it wasn’t for this video.

Is it safe for my iPhone to use the fake one?

Much easier way is to attach Apple MagSafe to iPhone. Go to settings>General>About>Scroll down just past carrier lock and if it’s real Apple it will appear here… you can take it on and off and watch this screen change. Also, it will show model and firmware. If you have 0’s in firmware, it is probably brand new, if 2.7 it is used

summary: once on - lower round charge green = fake , original stays in white color. thanks for posting!

Thank you for this video. I have just purchased one from eBay and I will be looking for the differences. I also noticed the box inside had gaps on the fake one and not on the original

I just received a replica and the battery is free to rotate as if the small magnet at the bottom is not present, is this normal?

I bought one at the flea market today. Box was real, battery pack was real but it included the fake 1 sheet info sheet. When I attach it to the back of my phone, the big circle is green while the small one is white….I guess I got the real one with the fake info sheet? Btw I only spent $25. So I’m not at a total loss just in case lol

I'm curious--isn't a changer bank a charger bank? Why would a fake, or another brand announcing what it is, be a problem? Not trying to be snarky, I really am wondering. Thanks in advance :)

Damn 😢I just purchased the fake one

Where can l find the original in Harare

I bought what was supposed to be an authentic Apple battery pack from eBay but there were some red flags. Your video help determine that it’s a counterfeit.

I have fake

i have 4 pieces of paper but the 4th one is js in a different language is it fake?😭

Thank you so much, you saved me, from buying a fake one m, thumbs up 👍

Thx MAN. At least I know it’s fake….

Wow!!! Very interesting… I can’t believe These Scammers are willing to go through all this work just copy and paste The Apple Logo on their work… The Scammers are clearly skilled… Thanks for the info Brother, 👊🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸

Its a safety problem if you have a fake one?i mean can some one take your dates?

I have the fake one but it works just as fine if not better

Mine got everything perfect except not showing up in settings... then the "green charge!". Thanks at least i know is a "perfect" fake

Fakes became even better now.. they have stickers and better print and same logo on pack itself only thing that prooves if its real is comes with 1 paper in box

hi where can i find this apple replica battery, can you tell me?!

Ant that some shit I just bought a fake battery from eBay

Yeah, I just realized that I got a fake one, but, for the price and functionality, I don't even care. I also think the fake one showing the charging status of both the phone and itself, is better than on the real one. I'll stick with My $20 rep. The packaging and coloring is identical to the real one, as well as the logo on the back of the pack. I'm good.

Are those trademarks or certifications? 😓

I have a fake one :(

The main reason I won’t buy from online sites

Los dos son replicas

❤❤

I seen ur video😂 I think both is fake 😂😂
