I'm surprised seller in shopee claimed that their lightning cable is genuine and they are able to sell at 1/3 or the original cable price. Anyone tired these cables before? Wanted to purchase one but I don't want to have compatibility issue like most of the fake cables. The price is too tempting to pass if it is really original cable. If it's a fake one I wouldn't waste my time and will just proceed to get one from Apple.

Appreciate valuable input from our fellow experts.

Thanks.

just get one from apple itself , peace of mind .. if shopee i would rather buy 3rd party brand like remax instead of so called genuine cable

Tried remax and some other brand as well, after some time it will have compatibility issue, doesn't want to charge etc. Genuine cable doesn't have such issue however it doesn't last long. If only they make a better cable with tougher external insulation

I would rather get MFI cable like Ugreen or Zmi in Shopee

Those are not original. It can be use but surely there will come a time you get those compatibility issue. Some can use it for months, so they do not care just buy another cheap one.
If you do not plan to go for Apple original, make sure you buy those MFI certified cable.

1 more question, is the cable compatibility related to iOS? say you're getting MFI certified cable now, and it will not work once you update the phone to iOS14.

I've been using the cable (first link) extensively, never fail on me once even with the latest iOS version. Packaging and the overall quality looks real to me.

Can you see 15cm from the USB port, is there any grey printed wording at the cable? it says "Designed by Apple... with the serial number" I think this is the only way to determine real and fake cable, well that's how Apple store check if the cable is real from my experience.

I bought ZMI cable working fine for me for the past few weeks, I guess as long as it is MFi certified, any cable will do fine.
