Hot on the heels of the death of one person and another person being shocked into a coma, Apple has released a statement [Google Translated via The Next Web] telling Chinese customers how to identify and recommending the use of real Apple chargers. Here’s the key message that is contained in the statement:
When you need to charge the iPhone or iPad, we recommend that you use the standard USB power adapter and USB cable. These adapters and cables are also available separately from Apple and Apple Authorized Resellers.
There’s also some verbiage about Apple’s continued dedication to consumer safety and testing. In my opinion, this is advice that we should all take as third part accessories can sometimes not be of the best quality. For example, I just saw a non-Apple Lightning cable literally fall apart after only two weeks of use. Thus going with the real McCoy is likely the best thing that one can do to make sure that one stays safe.
