Hi everyone, I had an issue with Apple USB to Lightning cable and now I am wondering how can I check if I have genuine Apple cable. I get my cable from “second hand” (it was in original packing and it’s looks genuine - compare the one from Apple Store - no different at all). I know there are some cable testers, but the price is high - if I just want check cables. So I am curious if there is any software ? So I can connect USB to my Mac and will know if it’s genuine or not. Thanks all for any idea :) Regards Rob
First, Install 3uTools on Windows 10. Connect your iPhone to your PC via the cable you want to check.If you see a prompt on your iPhone to “trust this computer”, click “trust”Open 3uToolsClick “Toolbox” at the topClick the “Genuine Accessories” toolClick “Test Data Cable”
@roboscrap Interesting… When I used a USB-C cable that I’m 99% sure was not genuine, it showed the manufacturer as Apple A2249
But when I used a non-genuine USB-A to Lightning cable, it showed N/A in the left columns like you reported. Note that this one was bought very recently, but the date that 3uTools reports is from 2012
I’m not sure where my genuine Apple cable(s) is (are), but if I find them, I will update this post with more information.
Hi guys, bit update on this - get some new Apple Lightning cables so want to try if they are genuine products, but unfortunately when I follow advice from @andrewsawesome I get no information so I tried other cables - they are 100000% genuine Apple but with same result. EDIT: but this software is surprisingly powerful :) Any ideas why ?
