And it is that when we talk about counterfeits of cables, accessories, chargers and others we have to bear in mind that it is an emerging market that does not help the customers who buy them, much less Apple that loses money for these counterfeits that are traded all over the world.
In any case, buying a cable from a well-known brand that is not "clones" and that offers certifications is something that everyone (including myself) does and it is normal to look for alternatives to the "quality and price" offered by Apple. But when we talk about copies we have to be very careful since they can be a real problem for our health and for our devices.
How many news related to explosions, burns or the like have we seen on the net? quite a few ... And this in most cases is by using imitation chargers and cables that all they do is put us in danger. It is for this reason that Apple is thinking about reward Korean police officers who participated in the operation to prevent the sale of counterfeit products worth about $ 892.
Korea Herald is in charge of publishing the news in which Apple is preparing an award through a plaque of recognition for the investigators who detained the local distributors who were in charge of marketing cables, headphones, chargers and all kinds of counterfeit products. This act would take place next Friday and it is true that this type of operation is not carried out with all the assiduity that one expects in China or anywhere in the world, and it is easy to find cables, chargers and other counterfeit products that could cause serious problems on our Apple computers or directly to ourselves.
