Apple accessories, like all of the company’s products, are expensive. Although to save money, in some cases, such as Lightning Cable, you can buy non-genuine accessories, in other cases, such as the MacBook Charging Adapter, you can not use non-genuine accessories.

I is used to charge the iPhone, update the iOS version and transfer data, and Apple has not generally banned third-party companies from making non-genuine models of this product. Of course, the fake samples of this product do not have the efficiency and quality of the original model.

However, you may have purchased a Lightning cable and are not sure if it is genuine. In this article, we are going to teach you how to determine the authenticity of it through Windows 10.

How to determine the authenticity of Apple Lightning cable

To determine if your Lightning cable is genuine, you should first install software called 3uTools. This program is an application that is used to manage data, backups, etc. on devices with iOS operating system. One of the features of this software is to detect the original or fake of Apple accessories. This software works on any iPhone and can detect the genuine or fake Lightning cable, AirPads and wired Apple headphones connected through the Lightning port. To do this, just follow the steps below.

Download and install 3uTool s software through the official website at https://www.3u.com/ .

Connect your iPhone to a computer running Windows 10 via the Lightning cable (which you want to determine if it is genuine or fake).

If you receive a message on your iPhone stating that your computer is trusted, tap Trust .

Now open the 3uTools app and from the top bar, tap the Toolbox option .

Select the Genuine Accessories tool option .

Then select the Test Data Cable option .

A window will open telling you whether the cable is genuine or made by a third party.
