The serial number is a combination of 17 letters and numbers on each charger, which can reflect information such as the manufacturer, place of origin, and production date of the charger.

Serial number format: The first three digits of the serial number are usually the OEM code (such as F16, C4H, etc.), the fourth digit is the production year (such as 2 representing 2022), the fifth and sixth digits are the production weeks, the seventh digit is the day of the week, the eighth to eleventh digits are random codes, and the twelfth to fifteenth digits are version identification codes (fixed codes). 3、 Check the packaging box and instruction manual
1. Packaging box handle position: The handle of the genuine Apple charger packaging box is located in the top center position. If the handle is on the side, it may be a counterfeit.

1. Heating situation: Genuine Apple chargers generate less heat during use, while counterfeit products may experience severe heating and temperature rise. 5、 Price and purchasing channels
1. Price: Genuine Apple chargers are usually quite expensive, and if the price of a charger is much lower than the market price, it is likely to be a counterfeit.
2. Purchase channel: It is recommended to purchase chargers from authorized channels of Apple, such as the official Apple website, Apple stores, etc., to reduce the risk of buying counterfeit products.
By observing the appearance and workmanship, checking the serial number, inspecting the packaging box and instructions, testing the user experience, and paying attention to the price and purchasing channel, genuine Apple chargers can be accurately identified. If the above methods still cannot determine the authenticity of the charger, you can check the serial number on the Apple official website for verification.
