Today the network of networks is echoing an issue that is not the first time that it is burning on the network and it is that on other occasions the same has been talked about and that is that it is not something we should play with. Non-Apple certified chargers have been tested for their products and confirmed 99 percent of them are not safe for both the computer and the user.
There have been many cases in which users have seen how their computers have deteriorated in autonomy after charging them with adapters not certified by Apple. When we talk about equipment in our blog we refer to the chargers of the MacBook, in any of its versions, the Air, the Pro or the MacBook to dry.
A new investigation by an independent global security firm has revealed that 99 percent of fake Apple chargers sold they do not comply with security measures for both users and computers.
The tests have been conducted by Illinois-based security specialists. In insulation tests they applied a high voltage to chargers that were bought online in eight different countries, including the United States, China and Australia.
Only three of the 400 counterfeit chargers had adequate insulation to ensure protection against electric shock. Leon Livermore, CEO of the Chartered Trading Standards Institute urged buyers to buy electrical products only from reputable suppliers.
They may cost a few pounds more, but counterfeit and second-hand goods are an unknown entity and could cost you your home or even your life, or the life of a loved one.
A, azon himself has stated that it is true that on his website sellers of counterfeit chargers have proliferated so the problems related to this topic are the order of the day. Look how far we can go that a USB-C cable that has been manufactured in the wrong way could cause the breakage of the board of your MacBook and therefore be able to spoil a product of 1900 euros by not spending 25 cures on a cable in good condition. Apple itself.
We already know that chargers with Apple's MagSafe 1 and MagSafe 2 aren't exactly cheap, but it is you who decides what in the end you do about these fakes.
