How to spot a Real vs. Fake MagSafe iPhone Charger (EU)

Posted: 30 Apr 2021 06:21 AM PDT

A couple of days ago I purchased a supposedly genuine Apple MagSafe iPhone Charger on eBay. As soon as it arrived, I immediately checked the serial number. It seemed like it belongs to another charger that has been either returned or even stolen ("We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced.").

So I became really skeptical and re-examined the packaging more closely. I noticed that the font on one side was quite bold and sometimes also the letter-spacing was a bit off. The green arrow on the seal was also a little blurry. Other than that, the packaging pretty much looked and felt like a genuine product.

Yesterday, I then purchased another MagSafe Charger, but this time from a reputable German website. I tried to mark all differences on the images I provided in this post, so you can check for yourself whether your charger is real or not. Please note that mine was produced in December 2020, so there may or may not be minor differences on newer versions.

BTW the eBay support was really helpful and due to their money back guarantee I did not have any problems resolving the issue.
