Smartphone owners almost daily face the issue of charging a mobile phone. The number of users of modern iPhone models has increased. The question of whether it is possible to charge an iPhone with a non-original charger arises when the battery is unexpectedly discharged at a party, or the original device is lost or damaged. Is there a difference between them and what is it? More on that later.
Risks
Buying Chinese copies of adapters can lead to wasted money. What risks may arise and what will happen if you charge the iPhone with a non-original charger? Now consider the possible problems:
- Chinese power supply may not turn on in charging mode. The latest generation of smartphones are set to issue a message warning that "this cable or accessory is not certified" by the manufacturer.
- Strong heating of the storage battery andphone case when charging, resulting in a shortened battery life and life.
- Unexpected failure of the battery with the further purchase of a new one (cost - up to 3,000 rubles from an official representative and about 1,000 - a non-original copy).
- Probable damage to chips due to short circuit, leading to repair replacement of damaged modules, search for original spare parts for the phone and a professional specialist.
- Possibility of burnout of the power controller responsible for the collection of energy by the battery of the smartphone. The device stops loading and will not turn on at all. Further replacement of the chip costs up to 5,000 rubles.
- Ignition of a mobile handset or melting of the case leads to the complete destruction of the iOs device.
Now you know what will happen if you charge your iPhone with a non-original charger. Above we have considered possible problems.
Cable with lighting connector
Purchasing a cable with a lighting connector is also not recommended. No one will give a guarantee of repeated safe use. Once saved money on the purchase of a certified adapter can result in numerous costly mobile device repairs later.
Why can't I use a non-original charger?
Why can't I charge my iPhone with a non-original charger? The answer to the question will be prompted by any mobile repair professionaldevices. A mismatch in the charging current for a smartphone can be detrimental to the battery and the device itself. The iPhone independently regulates the current using the power controller, which ranges from 0.3 to 2 amperes (voltage of 5 - 5.5 volts). If the indicators are exceeded, breakdowns of a different plan may occur. With insufficient values, the charging time increases many times, which also adversely affects the battery.
The low quality of a counterfeit charger poses a serious threat to the owner of the gadget. Such adapters do not pass standard tests for reliability and safety of operation, strictly controlled by the company. The presence of a certified sticker on the power supply indicates the authenticity of the product. Additional windings and insulation of individual parts are additional protection against uncontrolled voltage surges that can damage the mobile device. The sophisticated design of the iPhone adapter board is designed to resist electrical shock.
Using a non-original charger once
Is it possible to charge the iPhone with a non-original charger once in case of an emergency? Possibly, but don't do it all the time. The risk of damage to the device is greatly increased. Failed touch screens and “dying” batteries, including minor and major phone breakdowns, can ruin your mood for a long time and let you down at a crucial moment when you need to make an emergencycall.
How to charge iPhone with a non-original charger? Damage to the standard adapter forces you to charge the phone with another power supply. But it is impossible to abuse the constant recharging of inappropriate characteristics for the safety of the owner and his equipment. Original adapters, but from other smartphones, may not contain those charge controllers. They have a light version of the board protection that does not meet the requirements of the iPhone, which may adversely affect the device's operating time.
Charging options
In what cases can you charge an iPhone with a non-original charger from a similar device. Probably from the USB port of the computer, due to the fact that the power supply is guaranteed to deliver a voltage of 5 volts, without uncontrolled power surges. It will also be safe to use laptops whose motherboards deliver a current of 2 amps, which corresponds to the standard official smartphone settings. The adapter from the iPad meets the specifications of the iPhone, which allows it to be used by the manufacturer.
The MFI mark indicates compliance with the manufacturer's safety standards and regulations. Well-known smartphone companies are concerned about their reputation and the quality of their products, so they approach the relevant security standards with a reasonable solution. Temporary use of original power supplies from well-known manufacturers of gadgets with similar characteristics is perfectly acceptable.
Charging and talking
Should I charge the iPhone with a non-original charger and talk on it at the same time? The answer is definitely no! There are cases of fatal electric shock while talking on a phone connected to a non-original power supply. Could not withstand the load in the mains due to a voltage drop, and the output turned out to be 220 volts (instead of the prescribed five).
Interesting offer
After several incidents of electric shock to users, Apple launched a special program to replace non-certified chargers with branded adapters for just $10. She posted on the official website a detailed description of the original charging blocks with all identifiers and designations, urging the use of only the appropriate accessories from the manufacturer. The cable from the manufacturer is certified and protected from counterfeiting, which the clever masters of the production of non-original duplicates cannot yet surpass in terms of protection.
Charging in the car
What will happen if the iPhone is charged with a non-original charger from a car power supply? The necessary adapter from 12 to 4 volts of the premium model costs about 1000 rubles, while the model of the Chinese manufacturer costs about 400. A high-quality branded accessory assumes the safe operation of the adapter on the road. Using cheap imitations can lead to a fire in the car, not to mention damage to the phone.
Tips
Incorrect operation of the display sensor during charging is caused by the appearance of static currents with low potential, which are regarded by the device as a working command. The impact on the fingerprint reader can result in the cessation of the scanning device, which threatens to replace the entire motherboard, equivalent to purchasing a new device. The loss of information and contacts is a sad event.
Uncertified adapters and cables can destroy the chip that controls not only battery charging, but sleep and USB functions, which cause a lot of problems if they don't work properly. This is a sudden shutdown of the smartphone, problematic switching on and disruption of the charging indicator. The proximity of the chip to the iPhone processor can capture when the track of the adjacent board is shorted. The original power supply, designed to recharge the battery of a mobile device, can extend the life of a fashionable device and save the life of its owner.
For your safety, do not leave your mobile device charging overnight without supervision if you are using an uncertified adapter. Avoid overheating the device in the hot sun in the summer and hypothermia - at sub-zero temperatures. Touch displays suffer from extreme temperature fluctuations. Taking better care of your device can significantly increase its lifespan. Economical consumption of battery power, protection of the case from mechanical damage and shock when dropped, disabling unnecessary services in the zone of poor signal reception will allow you to serve as a batterybattery longer.
Conclusion
Now you know what will happen if the iPhone is charged with a non-original charger. You can save the device from possible damage by observing the operating conditions described by the manufacturer in the attached instructions. If you have an expensive device in your hands, then you should not save on buying an original adapter: it will cost more.
