Hello,

I’ve recently bought 2 Apple 5W chargers, and I’m not sure if they are fake or not.

The official resellers from my country aren’t selling 5W chargers anymore so I got them from a third party.

I’ve attached some comparisons pics here. Can anyone tell me if they are legit? I can still return them.

Not sure, but what will you be using this for?
Slow charge for devices
Do you have an old real one to compare to? Often fakes will look identical but will weigh less.
Nope, I only have a 12w iPad charger
Apple USB contacts should be gold plated. The last one seems like silver?

Good point! Thanks!
